The National CALD Ageing Network (NCAN)
The National CALD Ageing Network (NCAN) is a web-based communication network, developed by the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia (FECCA), that has been designed for all stakeholders who are involved in the CALD ageing sector. It is free to join and FECCA encourages all stakeholders in the CALD ageing sector, as well as interested organisations and individuals, to become part of this growing network. You can register on the FECCA website.
NCAN members receive regular email updates about policy developments in the sector, important inquiries, surveys and consultative processes, and information on grant application rounds. They also receive NCAN News, a bimonthly e-news bulletin summarising important developments and events, and have the opportunity to contribute to discussions about key policy issues.
In order to personalise CALD ageing issues, FECCA is currently looking for personal stories from CALD seniors, their families and carers to include in the upcoming issue of Australian Mosaic magazine focussed on CALD aged care, and in future editions of NCAN News. If you are interested in sharing your story or know someone you would like to interview, we would love to hear from you.
