Together We Can Make a Difference: Supporting Multicultural Seniors Through AfCAS

Everyone gets older someday, but this shouldn't cause anyone to lose connection with the culture, language or community.

For many multicultural seniors, respect and feeling of hearing matters highlighting a real difference to their wellbeing and sense of belonging. Thus, culturally appropriate support is important for wellbeing of senior citizens.

The Association of Culturally Appropriate Services (AfCAS) support for culturally and linguistically diverse older people across Western Australia making them feel valued, respected and heard. AfCAS

not only meet practical needs of senior citizens but also respects person's diverse culture, tradition, experiences, stories.

Why Cultural Understanding Matters

Being one of the largest countries and home for thousands of overseas people, Australia is one of the world's unique, culturally and linguistically diverse country. Every person have different believes and different understanding hence they experience ageing differently.

For an older person, being able to communicate comfortably, practise cultural traditions and feel understood can provide dignity, confidence and connection.

Sometimes even the smallest action is enough to make someone feel valued, included and respected. Listening to someone's story, sharing a conversation, a simple phone call from their closed ones, giving your time, greetings and simply being humble can make the huge difference.
