In the fast-paced world of service delivery, time is a luxury few practitioners have. Yet, when it comes to working respectfully and effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, ongoing learning isn’t optional—it’s essential.
That’s where WellMob’s new pilot program steps in, offering a fresh, flexible approach to professional development through microlearning.
What Is Microlearning – and Why Does It Matter?
Microlearning is a bite-sized, online learning method designed to fit into your day—whether you’ve got 10 minutes between appointments or a quiet moment after hours. Each lesson is short, focused, and easy to digest, making it perfect for busy practitioners who want to deepen their understanding without committing to lengthy courses.
As a non-Indigenous worker myself, I know firsthand that learning to work well with First Nations clients is a journey, not a destination. There’s always more to learn, more to reflect on, and more to apply. But with packed schedules and mandatory training requirements, finding time for meaningful growth can be tough.
A Collaborative Effort for Real Impact
Developed by WellMob in partnership with Sydney University, this pilot program introduces key concepts around using digital tools in culturally appropriate ways. It’s not just about tech—it’s about peeling back the layers of complexity involved in working with First Nations people and building respectful, informed relationships.
Over the course of three weeks, you’ll receive eight short email lessons, each with multiple-choice questions and instant feedback. It’s designed to spark curiosity, offer practical tools, and encourage deeper inquiry into your daily practice.
Will You Be an Expert in Three Weeks?
Let’s be honest—no single program can make you an expert overnight. But this microlearning experience is a powerful starting point. It’s a chance to build your toolkit, challenge your assumptions, and take meaningful steps toward becoming a more effective, culturally responsive practitioner.
Ready to Learn Differently?
If you’re looking for a way to grow your skills without overloading your calendar, this pilot might be just what you need. It’s flexible, thoughtful, and designed with real-world practice in mind.
