Those living in rural and remote regions have the same rights to culturally appropriate aged care as those in metropolitan areas but their location can sometimes hinder this access. This episode offers the perspective of Adhel, a Sudanese community leader who is caring for her mother in a regional town. Adhel has a conversation with Anyuon Liai from ECCQ’s Multicultural Advisory Service and shares some of the experiences, including challenges, she has faced in accessing culturally appropriate care for her mother outside of a major city. The episode also offers some practical solutions that home care workers can apply which may assist in overcoming some of the barriers that might be faced.
Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.
