The Cultural Safety Training Grant provides funding to support rural South Australia’s primary health care (PHC) clinicians and practice support staff to increase their skills and knowledge in providing culturally safe care for First Nations people.

The grant offers reimbursement for costs incurred in completing recognised cultural safety training of up to $200 per person.

Recognised courses include those offered by the Centre for Cultural Competence Australia, RACGP, ACRRM, or those recommended by health-related professional bodies. Training must occur between 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.
