Eastern Victoria Region

Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:57): (1617) My constituent question is to the Minister for Treaty and First Peoples. Since 2020, Aboriginal cultural safety training is mandatory for staff at the Orange Door. The Victorian Auditor-General has highlighted the government’s failure to develop and deliver cultural safety assessments, action plans and training across the Orange Door Network. Sadly, First Nations people are highly over-represented in domestic violence and family violence experiences. My Eastern Victoria constituents want to understand what you, Minister, are doing to address this gap and ensure that there is cultural safety training being fulfilled in inner and outer Gippsland.
