The nationally accredited oral history training will be delivered over two days by Dr Elaine Rabbitt. Elaine has developed the oral history training package for AHCOCM404 Record and document Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Community history, drawn from the wealth of oral history teaching materials that are available in Australia and overseas.
