Upcoming Workshops

The Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing is proud to announce upcoming dates for the Cultural Diversity in Aged Care: Developing an Inclusive Approach Workshop.

Open to all Victoria aged care providers, this interactive workshop aims to enhance service provision to older people from culturally diverse backgrounds. It is designed to give participants a comprehensive understanding of what it means to apply a culturally inclusive approach throughout their service provision and give them access to tools and resources which can help them achieve this.

The workshop is delivered though funding from the Department of Health under the Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care initiative in partnership with LASA Victoria.
