Australia is a multi-cultural nation that complies with international covenants on refugee and humanitarian issues. Human rights are well entrenched and discrimination is illegal. A critically developed understanding of diversity and culture is a core element of safe therapeutic practice for the professional and their client(s). When working with diversity, knowledge of cultural differences allows for more effective communication and the building of trust. Working with diverse clients may require the development of a flexible communication style and the ability to be responsive with ethical decision-making. There are also times when confidentially and the therapeutic responsibility to exercise ‘duty of care’ may cause conflict. This assessment requires critical reflection on your personal and professional approaches to diversity, confidentiality and professional boundaries.
