Abstract:

The Conservation and Land Management module specialising in Indigenous land management commenced in 2004 and is endorsed in the Conservation and Land Management (CALM) training package. Its implementation provides an opportunity to embark on an innovative approach to the recognition and enhancement of the cultural heritage of our Indigenous ancestors in contemporary Australia. The new courses will be available for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students while some culturally and gender sensitive modules are only available to Indigenous learners. Job opportunities available to those with qualifications in CALM are diverse and extensive and include community land and marine rangers, cultural heritage officers, advisors for cultural protocols and tourist guides. The new courses will assist in the preservation and protection of the spirituality and cultural heritage of Indigenous Australia within a technological age.
