Cultural Awareness Training

Robe River Services (RRS) has developed the Cultural Awareness Training (CAT) into a suite of face-to-face training to meet the needs of organisations and staff cohorts who operate on Robe River Kuruma (RRK) Country.

Cultural training is an important part of mandatory staff training in today’s modern organisations and if delivered effectively, can empower staff to understand the distinct cultural and values of Aboriginal people who may be impacted by operating on country.

There are three CAT products offered:

Virtual Reality Cultural Training Experience

This immersive experience allows learners to listen and learn the Robe River Kuruma story, as told by Elders on Country in the Pannawonica valley.

The story has beautiful scenery shot on the banks of the Robe River (known as the Jajiwurra River).

The video will run up to 30 minutes, followed up by a short Question and Answer session and can be run in small groups or an individual basis.

4 Hour Classroom Session
