Summary of Outcomes for CALD Aged Care Consumers – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

The Aged Care Diversity Framework Action Plans will act as a guiding resource that will assist government and aged care service providers to address specific barriers and challenges faced by older people with diverse characteristics and life experiences. In addition, action plans have been developed for consumers. FECCA is advocating with the Department of Health for the CALD Consumer Action Plan to be translated into a range of languages.
