The Barring Djinang Aboriginal Cultural Capability toolkit supports public sector workplaces to build their capability to attract, recruit, retain, support and develop Aboriginal staff at all levels. Its aim is to strengthen the cultural capability of managers and staff, as well as the cultural safety of public sector workplaces for Aboriginal employees.

Recruitment and retention of Aboriginal employees at all levels across the Victorian public sector will lead to improved policies and programs, designed to better reflect the needs and aspirations of communities and delivered through more appropriate models and processes.

The toolkit provides information on how to build the cultural capability of public sector workplaces. It discusses key concepts and understandings of Aboriginal culture and cultural capability. Each section contains topic information, questions which workplaces can use to reflect on their cultural capability and useful links for further information.

Throughout this toolkit, the term Aboriginal is used to refer to both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
