The LIPPE logo symbolises our desire to walk forward in partnership and cause a ripple effect in our communities. Created by Sarah Richards, the artwork is part of the “A Step in the Right Direction” commissioned by the APC.
Step in the right direction was created to represent the journey Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is on to embed cultural safety into pharmacy education programs in Australia, and thereby contributing to a culturally safe workforce.
Starting at the bottom of the piece, the footprints represent APC through the literature review, getting the current lay of the land and seeing who is doing what with respect to recognising Indigenous health issues in education programs. The footprints at the top part of the painting again represent APC but post the literature review. They’re moving forward, applying the findings to develop appropriate curricula and assessment to ensure their graduates are able to practice in a culturally safe way and support improved health outcomes of First Nations people. This positive impact on health outcomes for First Nations people is represented by the ripples (white dots)
We would like to advise Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples that this website contains images, voices or names of a person who has died.
