Winhangarra: Listen, Hear, Think – IPE Colloquium

The annual event brings together education providers from across the health professions to discuss how we can learn from and work with each other to achieve patient-centred care.

The 2024 theme focussed on how we can amplify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices to transform health profession education and practice.

In Wiradjuri language, Winhangarra means to listen, hear and think. We cannot achieve greater health outcomes without honouring Winhangarra and Indigenous leadership within health profession education.

The program included:

• strategies for co-designing learning materials with Indigenous communities
• successful approaches for recruiting and retaining Indigenous students
• tackling challenges in integrating quality Indigenous health education
• how we can learn from and work with other health professions to eliminate racism in health
• key factors for creating culturally safe learning environments
• how to engage in 2-way reflective practice.
