What is Work with Diverse People all about?
CHCDIV001 Work with Diverse People is a nationally recognised training unit in Australia that teaches individuals how to work effectively with people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. The course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to communicate and work respectfully with people from different cultures, religions, genders, ages, and abilities.
This vital unit focuses on developing cultural competence within paramedical practices. Understanding, respecting, and appropriately responding to the diverse values, beliefs, and attitudes encountered in emergency settings is crucial. Drawing from academic research on paramedic interactions in Victoria, this module addresses the nuanced challenges of servicing culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, emphasising the importance of clear communication and non-judgmental patient care to prevent adverse outcomes.
Who should complete work with diverse people, and what workplace and jobs is it relevant to?
This course is relevant to anyone working in any industry, particularly those in the community services sector, including aged care, disability services, child protection, and mental health. It is also relevant to individuals working in customer service, education, and other fields where they interact with people from diverse backgrounds.
When you study CHCDIV001, you will learn about the importance of cultural competence and how it relates to effective communication and engagement with people from diverse backgrounds. You will learn about the impact of culture and diversity on attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours, and how to recognise and respond to cultural differences.
The course covers a range of topics, including communication strategies, cultural awareness, cultural safety, and respectful behaviour. It also covers the legal and ethical responsibilities of individuals in relation to working with people from diverse backgrounds.
Overall, completing CHCDIV001 will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds and ensure that your interactions are respectful, inclusive, and culturally appropriate.
