National Centre for Cultural Competence

The National Centre for Cultural Competence was established in 2014 at the University of Sydney to become a thought leader in cultural competence philosophy, praxis, process and methods. The NCCC contributes to the dissemination of knowledges, pedagogies and skills that inform a whole of university approach to embedding cultural competence. Here you will find discussions about cultural competence, beginning from the standpoint of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and extending to broader ideas of diversity and inclusion around the world. 

Cultural competence is the ability to participate ethically and effectively in personal and professional intercultural settings. It requires being aware of 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 across cultural boundaries.
