Behind every training session, workshop, and qualification at the AbSec Learning and Development Centre is a dedicated team of Aboriginal educators, sector experts, and community advocates who believe in the power of learning to create change.
At the heart of what we do is culture — it shapes how we teach, how we listen, and how we walk alongside learners. We embed Aboriginal perspectives in everything we deliver, ensuring our training reflects truth, identity, and community strength.
