The Aboriginal Cultural Capability Reform Program (ACCRP) is being led by the Aboriginal Outcomes division to drive cultural reform aimed at improving the cultural competence of Communities workforce, the cultural responsiveness of its systems, policies, and practices, to enable whole-of-life outcomes for Aboriginal people, children, families, and communities in Western Australia (WA).

Underpinned by ongoing engagement and embedding Aboriginal ways of working along Communities journey towards cultural capability, the ACCRP project team is partnering internally and externally to create a culturally respectful and responsive agency.

The ACCRP aligns with the National Agreement on Closing the Gap and WA Aboriginal Empowerment Strategy that focus on addressing the disparity of life experiences of Aboriginal people compared to non-Aboriginal people living in WA.
