How the training works for groups

The Manawari cultural safety training is designed to be flexible, collaborative and impactful – ideal for organisations and teams seeking to build cultural capability together through a shared, meaningful learning journey.

Course delivery

The training runs over six weeks and combines self-paced online modules with live, facilitator-led sessions. This structure allows flexibility while supporting a shared group learning experience.

Learning experience

Self-paced modules

Participants complete interactive modules at their own pace via our online platform, with flexibility to suit different schedules while following the weekly structure.

Facilitated group sessions

Live sessions (delivered online or in person) create space for guided reflection, discussion, and shared learning. The final session brings everything together, allowing teams to reflect and explore how to embed cultural safety within their workplace or community.

Certification

Participants who complete the course and attend the final session will receive a microcredential from Macquarie University. A completion summary can also be provided to support organisational reporting or Reconciliation Action Plan milestones.
