Venue Information
The Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) is the peak body representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across Queensland.
QAIHC works to strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled health sector through advocacy, leadership, support and partnerships that promote culturally safe, community-led approaches to health and wellbeing.
Located in South Brisbane on the lands of the Turrbal and Jagera peoples, QAIHC’s Russell Street building provides a dedicated space for the organisation to support its members, facilitate sector engagement and bring people together to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes across Queensland.
The building was opened in 2019 as part of QAIHC’s ongoing growth and commitment to supporting the community-controlled health sector.
- Train: South Brisbane Station is approximately a 5-minute walk from the venue.
- Bus: The venue is within walking distance of the Cultural Centre and South Bank busway stations.
- Limited on-site parking may be available.
- Participants are encouraged to plan ahead, as parking in inner South Brisbane is limited and may include paid street parking and nearby commercial car parks.
- Parking restrictions apply throughout Brisbane and visitors should check signage when parking.
- QAIHC is committed to providing an accessible and welcoming environment.
- If you have any accessibility requirements or require additional support to attend the workshop, please let us know when registering or contact the SNAICC Learning and Development team before the event so appropriate arrangements can be made.
Enrolment Information
After you enrol, SNAICC will review your enrolment and confirm your spot.
- Once confirmed, we will send you an email with your in‑person workshop details.
Note: If the workshop is full at the time of review, we will place you on the waitlist and let you know. - You will also receive a request to complete a short self-assessment survey via Google Forms (this will take less than 5-10 minutes).
- Approximately six weeks before the workshop, Early Childhood Australia (ECA) will provide login details to access the online learning.
- Finally, you will have access to online learning for up to six weeks before the workshop and for four weeks after.
A Place for Culture is delivered through a blended learning model, including:
- Self-paced online learning; approximately 6–8 hours.
- One-day, in-person workshop facilitated by SNAICC.
- Online yarning circle to reflect and share learning with peers.
- Certificate of participation on completion.
This approach allows participants to build knowledge at their own pace and then apply learning in a supportive, interactive environment.
Participants will have access to two self-paced online learning programs up to six weeks before the in-person workshop:
- Program 1: A Place for Culture (Four courses | Estimated 3–4 hours total)
- Program 2: A Place for Culture in the Early Years (Two courses | Estimated 1–2 hours total)
Participants are strongly encouraged to complete the online learning before attending the in-person workshop, as it provides important background knowledge that will be built on during the in-person session.
