National Centre for Cultural Competence

Established in 2014, the NCCC has grown to be a centre of significance for cultural competence research and education in Australia, gaining a national and international reputation for driving positive social and organisational change.

Expand your understanding of cultural competence through a self-directed, research-informed online program.

We offer a range of workshops including our Core Cultural Competence Education Program that focuses on developing cultural competence education and building safe, supportive and diverse environments.

Cultural competence is the ability to participate ethically and effectively in personal and professional intercultural settings. It requires knowing and reflecting on one’s own cultural values and world view and their implications for making respectful, reflective, and reasoned choices, including the capacity to imagine and collaborate in cross cultural contexts.

Our Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) are free, online and available globally on Coursera to anyone interested in improving their cultural competence.
