Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, upon notice, on 21 September 2018:
(1) Do ACT Health staff receive ongoing training in cultural competency; if so (a) how many training sessions were held in the year 2018 to date and (b) what staff, and how many staff attended each session.
(2) Is cultural competency training part of essential staff education as ACT Health staff use a learning management system called “Capabiliti”; if so, what is the nature of the training; if not, why not.
(3) How many ACT Health staff are currently not compliant in their essential training, as reported on the Performance Information Portal.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) ACT Health provides all staff access to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander training and Diversity training.
a) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander training is an e-Learning course therefore is available to all staff at any time.
Diversity training is provided in face to face sessions and is also available on e-Learning. There has been six face to face sessions in 2018.
b) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander training is available to all ACT Health staff. Currently, 6819 staff (89.30 per cent of all staff) have completed this training.
Diversity training is available to all ACT Health staff. Fifty Seven (57) staff have attended face to face training sessions, and 276 have completed the e-Learning since January 2018.
(2) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander training is identified as essential education in Capabiliti and in Directorate policy. While Diversity training is not identified as essential education, it is a highly recommended training for all ACT Health staff.
Refer to the response to question (1) a) for the nature of the training courses.
