What's in the 'Making Two Worlds Work' kit?
Suite of Six Colour Posters
Six posters have been developed from original paintings depicting aspects of Aboriginal health and wellbeing. The Aboriginal community chose the themes, created the paintings and developed the descriptions to accompany the posters. The themes are: spiritual and mental health, kinship and family, culture and identity, physical health, practical support and understanding, and partnerships with health and community agencies.
Health and Community Services Audit
This is a beautifully designed audit tool for agency planning and review. Over many months our working group discussed how to make it easier to work respectfully with Aboriginal clients and communities. From 'creating a welcoming environment' to 'developing cultural competence', this tool supports agencies to audit their practices and make small changes that can make a big difference to providing better care.

Using a health promotion framework with an 'Aboriginal lens'
This is a comprehensive planning and evaluation tool for specific health promotion initiatives with Aboriginal communities and as a prompt for all health promotion initiatives to ensure that we are incorporating the needs of our local Aboriginal people. We developed this because we couldn't find a step by step health promotion manual with an Aboriginal lens to support local health promotion practice so we did it ourselves! We added examples of good practices in our local area to compliment the theory.

CD
The CD contains over 100 graphic images based on the six paintings for agencies to use when designing written or visual information for Aboriginal clients and community. You can choose borders, banners, water washes and symbols and copy them without copyright for your own publications.
DVD
View the DVD to hear an explanation of 'Indigenous welcome' and 'acknowledging country' filmed at Mungabareena Reserve on the Murray River. View an explanation of the importance of art in Aboriginal communities. We wanted to ensure that our resource kit was designed using a range of formats and communication styles.
'Welcome' sticker
This is a simple way for services to welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to their agency. One sticker is included in each kit, and the template design is on the CD so it can be reprinted in any format for permanent signage.
