Healthy Ageing in WA

On March 23, The West Australian highlighted cultural diversity in ageing with two articles in the Health and Medical liftout.

In the article Culture's Place in Care, Heather Zubek covered the issue of cultural diversity in ageing in Western Australia and explored some key topics and resources found on the Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing website. The article discussed areas of concern for clients from CALD backgrounds, such as Communication, Living Environment and Emotional Support.

The second article Bingo a common language highlighted the great work of the Chung Wah Community Centre in WA and talks about activities that take place at the Balcatta Daycare Centre including Bingo, film, culturally appropriate food and dancing.
