What is the Community Partners Program (CPP)?

The goal of CPP is to identify and address barriers to accessing community and residential Aged Care services by the elderly from multicultural backgrounds and their families. CPP also aims to raise awareness within the multicultural communities in relation to all aspects of the aged care services. Additionally, through CPP we are able to provide support, assistance and advice to Aged Care service providers when dealing with elderly members of multicultural communities.

How can we help the multicultural community?

We help ageing multicultural communities and their families through:

• Organising information sessions on available Aged Care services
