Abstract
Cultural Safety in nursing education is a critical pedagogical and professional standard that ensures the provision of respectful, appropriate, and effective care to culturally diverse populations, particularly Indigenous and marginalised groups. First introduced in Aotearoa New Zealand by Maori nurse Irihapeti Ramsden in the 1990s, Culutral Safety moves beyond cultural awareness and sensitivity to an explicit focus on power imbalances, institutional discrimination, and practitioner reflexivity. It has since been recognised across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand as an essential educational and clinical standard.
