Interpret aspects of local Australian Indigenous culture

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit applies to those people who are able to share local Indigenous cultural knowledge with others. They may work at many different levels, as cultural knowledge has no direct relationship with workplace levels of responsibility.

The local cultural knowledge necessary to achieve competency in this unit may only be accessible to those individuals who identify as elders or who are authorised by local elders on behalf of their communities.

There are many different Indigenous language groups in Australia, therefore focus of cultural interpretation will vary and should ultimately be decided in consultation with elders on behalf of the local community.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to share information about a specific local Australian Indigenous culture. It is this localised focus that distinguishes this unit from SITTGDE306 Research and share general information on Australian Indigenous cultures.

The unit recognises that there is no single Australian Indigenous culture and emphasises the importance of local cultural knowledge, appropriate behaviour and local community consultation.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
