Incorporating aboriginal and torres strait islander curriculum frameworks into practice and implications for employment

[Extract] Incorporating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander1 content into social work degrees is now recognised as a core component to ensure a university course is accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). This article examines a number of existing frameworks for embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content in the curriculum across the health disciplines, and outlines a model developed and implemented at the Australian Catholic University. The article identifies some of the implications that creating such models
might have for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment in the university sector and beyond.
