Why is Cultural Safety Important?
Cultural Safety is extremely important in the professional roles of Nurses and Midwives. Cultural Safety is as critical as clinical safety.
The term ‘Cultural’ is not about cultural identity, ethnicity or traditions. Rather, it’s about the ‘culture’ of power.
The concept of Cultural Safety:
- grew from the Aboriginal experience and related specifically to the colonial context of Australia by Aboriginal Nurse leaders
- includes recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives.
