About Our Courses

“Walya is a deeply authentic and personal account of how the poverty cycle drives Indigenous inequity – health and wellbeing, social, educational. Through the lens of his own family, Damien explains how this cycle needs to be clearly understood and addressed. Over decades of practice in the Northern Territory I have witnessed many healthcare workers come and go, and it appeared to me that most focused on the biomedical model and all to often missed the point – if you’re too poor to eat, you won’t value tablets to lower your cholesterol or treat your sugars. Walya is an very impressive articulation of the roots of this problem, a must for anyone wishing to embark on meaningful Indigenous health practice.”

Dr Simon QuiltyPhysician, Consultant Specialist

“I highly recommend Walya productions Course 1 Cultural Awareness and Course 2 Community Equity. Course 1 paces the learner through the incredible ingenuity and core concepts of a rich, thriving and sophisticated Aboriginal culture, especially brought to life by sharing Damien's own family history experience. I've done other courses and stepped away from these with new knowledge and and significant awakenings. I would highly recommend these courses. The second course is particularly relevant for understanding health care concepts and how external factors perpetuating the poverty cycle and sociopolitical structures of racism has created a phenomenon which started 235 years ago and was not part of aboriginal culture or lived experience prior to British colonisation. The second course builds from course 1 but also stands alone. A Brilliantly thoughtful course!”

“My name is Irene Sazdov and a very proud Nurrunga women from South Australia. I have worked in the Education and Employment sectors for over 15 years. I completed the Walya Productions Aboriginal Cultural and Community Awareness e-learning course to assess its suitability for non-Aboriginal staff. I found it to be the best online e-learning course. It has changed both my personal and work life in such a positive way that the underlying message I felt was so important it inspired me to offer to help promote this course. As an Aboriginal person I would have loved for this course to been available to me when I was at School. It conveyed in the most sensitive and concise way the unique challenges and circumstances faced by Aboriginal people in away that was inclusive of the non-Aboriginal Australian community. I strongly recommend and encourage everyone to undertake these courses.”

Irene Sazdov

“I want to extend my sincere appreciation for the immense value your courses have offered. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in them and I must say that I learned a lot. The concepts were well-articulated, thoughtful, and provided an enriching experience.”

What are CPD Courses?

CPD courses are specialized training programs designed to help organisations develop, implement, and maintain effective knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These comprehensive educational programs provide the knowledge, skills, and frameworks necessary to create meaningful  initiatives that benefit both Indigenous communities and participating organisations.

Core CPD Objectives:

  • Building relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
  • Developing respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures
  • Creating opportunities for Indigenous peoples in employment, procurement, and partnerships
  • Fostering inclusive workplaces that value Indigenous perspectives and contributions

Key Reasons for CPD Training:

  • Cultural competency development ensuring respectful and appropriate engagement
  • Practical implementation guidance for developing effective reconciliation strategies
  • Risk mitigation avoiding common mistakes and cultural insensitivity
  • Compliance understanding meeting legal and ethical obligations
  • Sustainable planning creating long-term reconciliation commitments

Reconciliation is more than a weekly activity.

Like Reconciliations Action Plans (RAP’s) it is a sincere commitment to ongoing positive change.

‘Aboriginal Australia Amazing Facts & Inventions’ posters are designed to assist organisations, businesses, schools, clinics and community centers in supporting Reconciliation.

By sharing awareness and appreciation of our Australian history & heritage one can share the commitment to the honorable aims of Reconciliation and celebrate Australian culture together for the benefit of all.
