How to employ and retain indigenous staff
Employing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders offers many benefits for early childhood education and care services, the families which attend those services and the community more widely. In addition services which employ people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait backgrounds find it easier to attract and retain families from those backgrounds.
The benefits of employing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as educators and staff include:
- Improved respect for and knowledge of Aboriginal culture, history and issues
- Increased support for your service's cultural program
- Helping to ensure that culturally inclusive practices and education are included in your service naturally and informally as well as part of the curriculum
- The opportunity to introduce your service to different ways of thinking and doing things and providing a strong link to your local community
- Helps to dispel any negative stereotypes among staff and families.
