Reflect on what you have learnt about your community:

Does the diversity in your community match the people you see in your practice?

Does your care service meet the cultural needs of your community?

What barriers may be preventing people form accessing your care service?

How might the diversity in your team influence the palliative care your service provides?

Here are some steps you can take to improve access to care for diverse communities:

Read the Aged Care Diversity Framework. This guidance relates to meeting the diverse needs of older people. Locate your organisations diversity plan.
If you are unable to find a Diversity Plan, the Australian Government Department of Health provide this sample of a diversity plan (161kb pdf) to use for guidance. Use this to suggest a workplace improvement with your organisation.
Record which languages you need resources in.
