Assessment of Cultural Competence of Indigenous Australians

In my professional point of view, I will apply the skills in philosophy for the purpose of explaining my historical influences on the organization operations through cultural assessment of the cultural competence of the indigenous communities. In this case, I will be reflecting on the Indigenous Australians and myself as part of Australian society. In my professional understanding, the indigenous Australian cultural completeness shows that many of the people within this community hold a unique communication response.  They have different beliefs and traditional knowledge as well as sustainable management of their special relation to the traditional diversity of the indigenous community. The diversity of the indigenous people is proposed by the Supply Nation organization established in the year 2009 (Cohen, 2013). In my views, the organization through assessment of the culture competences of the indigenous Australian, it tries to bring a well established brand on current supply within the indigenous.

The project establishment tries to figure out some of the unique characteristics of the local communities as well as the entrepreneur enabled vision in respect to the indigenous communities. As part of the community, I will give respect to the increased capacity for the aboriginal people who participate in the national health programs on health development projects. I am considering the indigenous communities as non-United Nations products (Foley, 2016). Australian communities come up with two types of cultural groups which fall in the category of Aboriginal and Torres Islander people (Hinton, 2012). In my observation as part of the community, I have realized that there is large diversity that occurs between the described groups. This is backed by the fact that there are more than 250 different communities with different cultural traits which are spread across the nation (Unikoski, 2018). In relating culture competences in today’s assumptions, the indigenous communities used encompass for Torres and Aboriginal people.  

In this section, I will focus on the social-historical and institutional factors which are relevant to the project. I will finally discuss ethical issues backing up the project.  The project mainly focuses on the achievement of the vibrant as well as sustainable culture competences of the indigenous culture. In the social setting of the project, it aims at consulting the local indigenous communities on social inter cultures based on their beliefs.  Following the fact that the project allies the concept of Glimbaa, this has created the service level of creativity for the specialization of the strategies which brings out the connection between the communications within the different social classes within the indigenous class. The service is categorized by the fact that it applies process in storytelling which plays a role in making sure that culture and the community are well celebrated. This has been done through making sure that the business engages on the non-governmental creation of the logo. This will come up with the local association with the services bridging the establishment and success of the project. Bangarra has been established in the project for the purpose of symbolizing an art of performance through which it develops the professional ways for the talented young people who socially develop their skills this sector of the project (Childs, & Delgado-P, 2013).

Social-Historical Factors Relevant to the Project

Looking at the institutional wise of the project, the project has Build Bridge in the educational sector. In this case, I have understood the fact that Aboriginal and Torres's communities are very independent in schools. The main purpose of establishing those types of institutions is to promote the development of the indigenous individuals who will be independent academically. This also aims at making sure that the people are separated and different from any other locals in terms of the cultural norms, moral values, and their social responsibility. This will create the room for employable potential through institution self-fulfillment. The project has established Yungartilla which is a K-12 school for the NSW in the north-cost of the region. This is one of the ways for implementation as well as encouraging the high level of the engagement which exists between the indigenous parents as well as Yungartilla professors (Gibson, 2014). The institution gives an approximate of 15 employed teachers who are non-indigenous. This has created cultural diversity and creation of the mutual channel through which indigenous students are able to get the diverse culture traits from non-indigenous teachers. This has built the rapport and high level of trustworthy between the teachers students and parents.  

The historical factors give the historical background of the project. It is through the historical background that the business is determined when was it established as well as its achievements and set strategies. In our case, through historical information, we are able to know that the project is certified Supply Nation which was established in the year 2009. We are able to know that it is kind of partnership and registered business aimed at achieving its visions of prosperous. In this case, it has been established that the business has an aim of securing the contract between Qantas for the provision of the local sources within the NSW (Hall, Basarin & Lockstone-Binney, 2010).  Finally, the relevance of the ethical issues discussed has enhanced well understanding of the cultural competence for the indigenous communities. Through the ethical issues discussed in the project, we have been able to understand the cultural development of the indigenous Australian communities.  It has yielded the professional practices such as respect of the cultural diversity for the purpose of partnering with the indigenous communities for the backup of the project.

There are some principles that I will be able to employ so that I can establish as well create a collaborative aspect of partnership with the indigenous community as well as groups. There will be a need for the significant water saving project which will have a balance of the environmental as well as aboriginal culture ways of heritage. This will be a principle of protecting the commercial use as well as settings assents for the local indigenous community. The establishment of schools will act as a unity between non-indigenous teachers and the indigenous student will have an opportunity to share some cultural diversity initiatives of building unity in between the teachers, students, and teachers (Moses, (2011).  The indigenous student and non-indigenous teachers’ interaction creates a cultural relevance in curriculum building progress. In my opinion, I will emphasize on principle of association between the communities. This will be done through various ways such having participation in schools, community works as well as talent enhancement. For the corroboration with the indigenous community and groups, there should be bridges that bring people together (Gammage, 2014). The performance theater will enhance closeness to one another. Through the exploitation of the different talents from different locals there will be chances of sharing the cultural facts and through this process, the project will expand its roots on culture completeness from the indigenous communities. Through graphics as well as advertisement principles there will be communication strategies between the communities. Coming up with non-government organizations has created the logo for good association with new services in the process of building the Dubbo (Samantha, 2012). The strengths of the local communities will be shown through recruiting the project officers who will be able to lead the initiatives for the same. There should be principles covering the consultation of the local indigenous community on matters concerning the religion and art in the region for collaboration purpose
