Diversicare’s Multicultural Advisory Service has produced this booklet in simple English to help CALD consumers better understand and access aged and disability home care. It explains how the system works, what types of care and home support can be sought, what support carers can access and what advocacy means. It is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme.
This booklet aims to assist all staff involved in the provision of community and aged care services by providing culturally appropriate support and care by increasing their awareness in areas where cultural sensitivities may exist, and wherever possible providing some tips and information sources.
