Summary: While complaining is common in everyday interactions, it can seem inappropriate when a teacher complains within a setting focused on reflective practice and professional development. However, these complaints raise issues relevant to reflective practice, and mentors could treat them as a form of novice reflective practice.

Summary: The urge to decolonise student thinking and embed Indigenous knowledge in higher education has been a key focus. However, there is a lack of explicit curriculum scholarship informing the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges. Some universities are developing policies to incorporate Indigenous cultural capability in curriculum. This paper highlights the need to examine pedagogical approaches and emphasizes the significance of reflexivity and narrative in enhancing social cohesion within university curriculum.

Summary: First Nations peoples are revitalising diverse cultural fire practices and knowledge, but there has been little academic research on these practices in south-east Australia, let alone research led by Aboriginal people. In this paper, the authors describe three practice-oriented principles for collaborations in the Indigenous-led revitalisation of fire on Country: relationships, Country, and power. The authors suggest that these principles can be applied by anyone wanting to form genuine collaborations around the world as the need for social-ecological justice grows.

Summary: Culturally safe health practitioners are crucial for providing effective services to diverse populations, including Indigenous Australians. The implementation of Indigenous cultural safety education workshops can enhance allied health students' knowledge and attitudes. Students becoming self-aware of their values and cultural identity, and recognizing the importance of such identity in interactions with clients, is a key step towards becoming culturally safe practitioners.
