Inquiry into support for older Victorians from migrant and refugee backgrounds

by

Parliament of Victoria

A parliamentary committee has recommended the initiative after an inquiry found older people from migrant and refugee backgrounds are often unaware of the services available to them.

The Legislative Assembly Legal and Social Issues Committee has made 76 recommendations to government, including more funding for the provision of essential services and an expansion of translated material into a broader range of languages.

Care finders or community connectors could be employed across the state to help culturally diverse seniors find and access support close to where they live.
