Help for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) ageing projects

The Commonwealth Government is providing $15 million in grants for projects that will help older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds to access appropriate aged care services.

CALD community groups have been invited to tender for projects under the Community Partners Program.

The program is designed to assist older people from non-English speaking backgrounds and since 2005, it has been used to fund over 740 projects nationally.

Participating community groups have used the funding to create links with specialist groups like Alzheimer’s Australia and the Cancer Council.

They have also provided briefings about aged care services and conditions such as dementia to over 300 different community groups.

Other program initiatives include training, networking projects and translating brochures into different languages.

The grants are open to organisations throughout Australia.

Advertisements appeared in national, regional and CALD community newspapers on Saturday, 25 April.
