Every day around 5 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are diagnosed with cancer.
We worked with Gilimbaa and Cancer Australia to develop practical advice to cancer care specialists on delivering culturally safe and responsive communication for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, their families and carers.
Our Production Manager, Casey, travelled to Larrakia Country(Darwin) and Wiradjuri Country (Dubbo and Orange) to film nurses, oncologists,Aboriginal Liaison officers, palliative care staff and patients to share their experiences and expertise.
Casey continued to work closely with Gilimbaa throughout the post-production process to ensure the final videos were culturally appropriate and accessible.
The success of this project has led to future collaborations which we look forward to sharing with you soon.
Check out the videos on the Cancer Australia website.
Working for our partners at Gilimbaa, an Indigenous-owned creative agency, we produced 5 training videos for Cancer Australia to support non-Indigenous health care professionals caring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer patients.
The Social Deck acknowledges the traditional custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and community. Our staff live and work on the lands of many First Nations peoples, including the Gubbi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi people, the Turrbal and Yuggera people, the Bundjalung people, the Ngarigo and Ngunnawal people and the Wadawurrung people. These peoples have lived on and cared for these lands for thousands of generations, and their sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders past and present.
