"To speak the truth about the lived experience of Indigenous Australians at work is crucial to creating fair and equal workplaces that are working towards safety and are free from racism, discrimination, and bias," says Nareen Young, associate dean at the University of Technology Sydney's Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.
That's why the institute is teaming up with the Diversity Council Australia and UTS Business School to create a second report called Gari Yala, which means "speak the truth" in the Wiradjuri language.
This time around, the report will focus on the experiences of First Nations Australians in the workplace and offer recommendations to create workplaces where Indigenous people can thrive, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The first Gari Yala report, released in 2020, found that Indigenous workers in Australia face racism, discrimination, and cultural safety at work.
"We want to track the psychosocial impact of racism at work, examine cultural [and]colonial load, and its impacts more carefully while tracking the impact of intersectional considerations," says Young.
More than 1,000 workers will be surveyed for the project, which starts in August and will be overseen by an Indigenous expert panel, per a press release. Read the Entire Article
