Resources for Elderly People

Australia is a multicultural and diverse country. If you come from a culturally diverse background, speak a language that is not English, or have particular needs, you are not alone.

Whether you are an older person or you care for an older person, there is support available for people of different backgrounds and situations, including:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

  • people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds

  • people living in rural and remote Australia

  • older people with disabilities

  • older people of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity, including LGBTI

  • Care Leavers including Forgotten Australians, Former Child Migrants, and the Stolen Generations

  • veterans, war widows and widowers

  • people who are financially disadvantaged

  • older people who are homeless or facing homelessness
