Objective: Despite much effort and goodwill, the gap in health status between Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal Australians persists. Bringing Aboriginal cultural protocols and teaching strategies into healthcare could improve the fit between healthcare services provided and Aboriginal peoples. This approach to making healthcare more accessible has not been tested in mainstream health settings. This study aimed to introduce ‘8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning’ to a mainstream health organisation and observe how learning about Aboriginal perspectives and processes shaped work‐related project or program design.
