CAAAPU CAREERS
CAAAPU’s strength lies in being an Aboriginal-controlled organisation that provides culturally relevant and legitimate programs.
CAAAPU staff see their own behaviour as crucial in contributing to effective therapy. CAAAPU staff are strong role models that can provide a powerful and consistent message to clients that alcohol and other drug misuse is not necessary or normal and is inconsistent with Aboriginal cultural values.
CAAAPU aims to employ a high number of Aboriginal staff as this enhances therapeutic effectiveness, helps make clients feel culturally safe, and ensures that therapy and programs are delivered in a genuinely culturally appropriate way, increasing the likelihood of clients continuing with the program for a successful outcome.
