Townsville, QLD – Miya Services recently reinforced its commitment to culturally sensitive and inclusive care by hosting an impactful cultural training session, presented by our esteemed Cultural Advisor, Genus Passi. This training provided our team with deeper insights into the Indigenous backgrounds of the young people we support, ensuring that our care approach remains respectful, informed, and effective.
As an organisation dedicated to providing safe and nurturing environments for young people in care, Miya Services recognises the importance of cultural competence in our work. The training with Genus Passi offered critical insights into Indigenous customs, histories, and values, equipping our team with the knowledge necessary to foster meaningful connections and culturally responsive support.
“At Miya Services, we understand that effective care goes beyond meeting basic needs—it requires recognising and honouring the cultural identity of each young person,” said Ray Chan Tung, Director of Business Development of Miya Services. “Through this training, our team has taken an important step toward strengthening our cultural awareness and enhancing the way we engage with Indigenous communities.”
The session provided practical strategies for integrating cultural understanding into our daily work, ensuring that every young person feels seen, heard, and supported in their identity. Miya Services remains dedicated to ongoing learning and development to continuously improve our approach to culturally responsive care.
