Cultural Diversity

New projections from CEPAR show that migrant backgrounds and cultural and linguistic diversity are increasing among older Australians, influencing where and how aged care services will be accessed.

Assessment tools designed to measure social engagement and quality of life in aged care need to be translated into multiple languages to be effective, urge researchers at Western Sydney University.

Diversity Council Australia (DCA) is offering organisations one last chance to join its RISE Project and become a trailblazer in workplace diversity and inclusion.

As the number of older Australians from various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds continues to rise, the need for culturally aware aged care homes becomes paramount.

Everyone holds a share of the responsibility when amplifying experiences or supporting people with lived experiences of marginalisation, but how can leaders centre marginalised voices within the context of aged care?

Andrea Kelly, Interim First Nations Aged Care Commissioner, is seeking public feedback to help improve aged care services for First Nations people across Australia.

A worrying trend is emerging with the Diversity Council Australia’s (DCA) 2023-24 Inclusion@Work Index showing that workplace discrimination and harassment levels have risen, while many workers are also feeling less connected and valued at work.

Aged care provider Uniting NSW.ACT is the first in the sector to benefit from the Diversity Council Australia’s innovative RISE project which is designed to build pathways to leadership for women from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds.

Language is a powerful tool within the workplace and a greater focus on racial literacy could be an important step towards making workplaces more inclusive.

First Nations leader Andrea Kelly has been announced as the interim First Nations Aged Care Commissioner, an all-important step in the process toward establishing the design and functions of a permanent Commissioner role.
