Supporting cultural and linguistic needs
Approximately 3 out of 10 Australians aged 65 years and over were born overseas. Many of them face substantial barriers in accessing and engaging with the essential support and services, including palliative care.
To help address this, the CareSearch Project has collaborated with Multicultural Communities Council of South Australia and Palliative Care South Australia to create podcasts that aim to promote understanding of palliative care and awareness of support services. A component of CareSearch's Part of Life campaign, the podcasts are available in Cantonese, Croatian, Greek, Mandarin, Spanish, Ukranian, and English, and cover the following topics:
- What is palliative care
- Pain and symptom management
- What kind of services are available
- Financial services
- Plan early
- What matters most
