National Centre for Cultural Competence

Valuing cultural diversity for individuals and organisations for the richness and creativity it brings to society and the workplace.

Developing individual and institutional cultural capabilities

The National Centre for Cultural Competence (NCCC) serves as a vital link between cultural competence research and transformational education, guided by principles of human rights and social justice. Through partnerships and collaboration with diverse individuals, communities, and organisations, the NCCC strives to drive positive social change by developing individual and institutional cultural capabilities and responsiveness.

The NCCC offers short courses as online modules to enhance individuals' cultural competence and promote culturally competent practices in organisations nationwide, empowering individuals to make informed choices to increase cultural safety and responsiveness.

"This was a great course, really valuable, insightful and important. Thanks so much for making this material available, we completed as a group of colleagues and all took a lot from it. I will definitely recommend it to others to complete."
