"Bridging two worlds?": Towards cultural safety within Schools of Nursing in Australian Universities.

Background: Cultural safety has a stronghold within nursing practice and nursing education in Australia and is seen as a philosophy and practice that challenges and refutes previous concepts and frameworks of cultural awareness and cultural competence (Petric, 2019). Cultural safety practices are required for all members of the nursing profession, with a gaze now focused upon Australian Schools of Nursing to demonstrate their commitment and readiness towards cultural safety.

Aim: This research study measures the commitment and readiness towards cultural safety within Schools of Nursing in Australian universities.
