S3E6: Embracing solutions to culturally appropriate care

Australia is becoming more multicultural and we have more seniors from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds accessing aged care services. As such, it is important for those delivering their care to understand their cultural needs and meet those needs by providing culturally appropriate care.

In this episode Thana Roysmith from ECCQ’s Multicultural Advisory Service is joined by Danijela Hlis, a Community member and a tireless advocate of people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Danijela shares her experience when she was a carer for her parents and some of the challenges that multicultural communities can face when accessing aged care services. Thana and Danijela also discuss how care workers can help in understanding the needs of culturally diverse seniors when providing care.

Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.
