RACP DCEMRCPCH Clinical
Prompt
General paediatrics clinic: an Aboriginal family with a preschooler who has hearing concerns and recurrent wet cough; they ask whether hospital staff will treat them with respect.

Opening (2–3 minutes)

Examiner: How will you start this consultation? [2]

Strong answer: Introduce myself and role. Ask Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander status respectfully and record it. Ask who should be part of decisions. Offer Aboriginal Health Worker involvement. Acknowledge the family’s concern about respect directly and state that cultural safety is judged by their experience. [2] [3]
