Nursing homes need to provide multicultural care

This week, the aged care royal commission looks at diversity in aged care, an issue becoming increasingly relevant to both residents and the staff who care for them.Diversity includes gender, sexual orientation, religion and social background.

In 2016, more than one-third (37%) of Australians aged 65 and over were born overseas and one-fifth (20%) were born in a non-English speaking country.These figures have increased continually since 1981, when one-quarter (25%) of older people were born overseas.
