How the training works for individuals

The Manawari cultural safety training is designed to be flexible, accessible, and supportive – perfect for individuals who want to engage at their own pace while still experiencing meaningful connection throughout the journey.

The course is designed to be completed over six weeks, with one module per week:

  • Week 1 – Module 1: Welcome to country and introduction
  • Week 2 – Module 2: Walking through country
  • Week 3 – Module 3: Invasion or colonisation
  • Week 4 – Module 4: Voice to parliament
  • Week 5 – Module 5: Working with Aboriginal people and communities
  • Week 6 – Module 6: Walking together

How it works

Welcome

Once you sign up, you will receive a welcome email with everything you need to get started – including your iLearn login details.

Learn when it suits you

The course is fully self-paced. Start when you're ready and progress through the modules at your own speed. We’re here to support you if you need a hand at any stage.

Optional check-in

Need to talk something through? You can book a 15-minute check-in with one of our friendly facilitators at any time during the course.

Go at your own pace

While we suggest completing one module per week (finishing in about six weeks), there is no rush. You will continue to have access even after completing the modules.

Final session

After finishing the online modules, join a live final debrief session. This is a chance to connect with fellow learners, reflect on your journey, and share your experiences.

Certification

Once you have completed the final session, you will receive a micro-credential and certificate to celebrate your learning and acknowledge your commitment to cultural awareness and respectful engagement with Aboriginal communities.

How much does it cost?
