Support for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

If you’re an older person from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background, or you’re caring for an older person from a CALD background, there are aged care services specifically for you. Many organisations now offer specific diets, activities, languages or spiritual needs, whatever your cultural, linguistic or spiritual background.

If you’re looking to move into an aged care home, the 10 Questions to Ask brochure can be a helpful resource. It provides a list of questions that can help people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds find a suitable provider. The questions are written by doctors, nurses, and other experts with experience in aged care.
