To be cultural competent is a clear expectation of the National Quality Framework (NQF) and features strongly in the Early Year Learning Framework (EYLF) as well as the National Quality Standard (NQS).
Becoming culturally competent is as much about what we do every day, the little decisions we make and the words we use, as it is about what we understand, what we think and what we believe. Cultural competence is a term that is used to describe the ways in which individuals and services work to support, promote and embrace cultural difference.
