Aboriginal Cultural Safety Framework

This webpage aims to assist community housing providers in understanding the cultural safety framework for First Nations people. Aboriginal people living in Victoria experience severe housing disadvantage. The Community Housing Sector is committed to ending that disadvantage and the development of the Community Housing Aboriginal Cultural Safety Framework is a first, and important step towards that goal. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural safety is defined as an environment that is safe for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders, where there is no assault, challenge or denial of their identity and experience (Williams 2008).
