Cultural Blindness ‘it doesn’t matter if you are black, white or
brindle, everyone gets the same service here’
• assumes similar knowledge of service, similar understandings and experiences
• assumes everyone communicates in the same way • very limited recognition of one’s own culture • poor recognition of the traditions and beliefs that are
ingrained when services are established
Dominant cultures have a notion that the beliefs and practices they hold are neutral or middle of the way, blinded to their own cultural ways. Lacking recognition of difference.

Check your privilege • As you grew up:
– did you go to school with your siblings – know there was a pathway of
education you would take – if you watched tv, did the people look
similar to you – The professionals around you Our unconscious mind tells us – that if I have access to that then others do to.

Colonising practices • ingrained strong western beliefs in
systems, policies and practices • upheld for the last 200 years • endorsed those similar and further
disempowered those with different understandings – power imbalances
Recently being recognised by self reflective people who are querying the outcomes • making changes to the landscape we live
and work
• Social justice means that the history of our nations is recognised and within this, the political and cultural oppression of
indigenous people is acknowledged. (Mick Dodson Social Justice Commissioner 1995)
• TRUE HISTORIES –
• RETHINKING HISTORIES – • ALTERNATE HISTORIES HOLD
ALTERNATE KNOWLEDGES – • ALTERNATE WAYS OF DOING THINGS
- WHO UPHOLDS SOCIAL JUSTICE

Cultural Considerations providing end of life care to
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• To address the uncertainty of health care providers to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• Concept was inherited (commenced Aug 2013 – Dec 2014 mailout)
• To support service providers ease, (we are only people too)
• Provide some knowledge of diversity of beliefs • Inform any gaps – services environment and skill • Is not met to be prescriptive (too much diversity for
that)
