Aboriginal Cultural Inclusivity Guide & Assessment Checklist

The Aboriginal Cultural Inclusivity Guide & Assessment for Early Learning Services is a practical, self-guided resource designed to support early learning services to respectfully and meaningfully embed Aboriginal cultures and perspectives into everyday practice.

This comprehensive guide provides clear guidance, practical strategies and reflective prompts to help services look at their current practices, identify opportunities for growth and strengthen cultural inclusion across their early learning environment.

The guide includes a quarterly checklist assessment and action plan, allowing services to reflect, document intentional actions and track their progress throughout the year. The process supports ongoing cultural learning and continuous improvement rather than being a one-off assessment.
