Download or read book Career Pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Professionals written by Jannine Bailey and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding and strengthening the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professional workforce is recognised as crucial for improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The Career Pathways Project is an Aboriginal-led national research project funded by the Lowitja Institute. Its purpose is to provide insight and guidance to enhance the capacity of the health system to retain and support the development and careers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the health workforce. This report presents the methods and findings of the workplace-based case studies conducted in New South Wales. A series of 28 yarning circles and 6 interviews were held with Aboriginal health staff and their managers at both Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and government health services (including Local Health Districts and a Primary Health Network) in urban, regional, rural and remote regions of NSW. At total of 122 people (83 staff and 39 managers) participated. We found the Aboriginal health workforce brings to the delivery of services cultural skills, knowledge and values that are uniquely Aboriginal, including vital communication skills and ways of conducting business. These are underpinned by personal experiences of living and working in community, and a lived understanding of what it is to be an Aboriginal person. When it comes to Aboriginal people enjoying a career in the health sector, there are barriers all along the way. Financial pressures impact at every step. At the organisational level, career development starts with the 'right' governance and management structure and strategies, including a Workforce Development Strategy that includes specific goals and actions to enhance career development and ensure cultural safety. Cultural values must be at the forefront. All staff need to feel valued in the workplace and by the community, and be appropriately rewarded. Aboriginal leadership is essential with Aboriginal people in the executive and senior and line management positions. Strategies to improve Aboriginal career pathways are necessary within health services and organisations, across the health and education sectors, and in the community. Partnerships will be essential in moving forward.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work written by Francis J. Turner and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us, as Canadians, are touched throughout our lives by some aspect of social welfare, either as recipients, donors, or taxpayers. But despite the importance of the social network in our country, there has been no single source of information about this critical component of our society. Even professionals in the field of social work or social services have not had a comprehensive volume addressing the myriad features of this critical societal structure. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work fills this need. Over five hundred topics important to Canadian social work are covered, written by a highly diverse group of social workers covering all aspects of the field and all areas of the country. Practitioners, policy makers, academics, social advocates, researchers, students, and administrators present a rich overview of the complexity and diversity of social work and social welfare as it exists in Canada. The principal finding from this project underscores the long-held perception that there is a Canadian model of social work that is unique and stands as a useful model to other countries. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work will be an important source of information, both to Canadians and to interested groups around the world. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work is available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.
