Working with multicultural and multi-faith people and communities

  • Summary

  • When working with multicultural and multi-faith people and communities it’s important to consider their cultural needs, preferences, and beliefs in order to create a safe environment, and ensure the delivery of appropriate and inclusive services. In this episode, Geraldine Jeremiah, Access and Support Worker at the Migrant Information Centre (Eastern) shares her wealth of experience working with and supporting older people from a broad range of different cultural and religious backgrounds and people whose first language isn’t English. Geraldine discusses the access issues and barriers that people from multi-faith and multicultural communities can experience when engaging with the aged care sector and provides some great tips about what staff can do to gain trust and create a culturally safe environment. This includes how to maximise the use of interpreting services and key considerations when supporting multicultural and multi-faith people who are accessing a social group setting, allied health and nursing services and in-home services.
