promote self-awareness, reflective learning, development of culturally safe communication,

skills in challenging circumstances and develop knowledge of appropriate communication
across a variety of urban, rural and remote contexts. The importance of academic literacy
and critical thinking will be emphasised throughout the subject and students will
be equipped with knowledge and resources that will act as a foundation for future
learning.
