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
