Multicultural Partners is the leading service that supports Queensland’s aged care sector to deliver high quality care to older Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
Multicultural Partners is funded by the Australian Government, and as part of Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care (PICAC) and CHSP Sector Support and Development (SSD) programs, offers approved aged care providers information, training, mentoring and digital resources at no cost.
Training and education for aged care service providers
Multicultural Partners supports the sector to meet the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards by providing training, advocacy and resources to embed diversity and inclusion in everyday practice, as set out in the Aged Care Diversity Framework.
Through face-to-face professional development workshops, cultural briefings, and flexible online education, we support the aged care workforce to deliver culturally appropriate care to older Australians from diverse backgrounds.
Multicultural Partners builds partnerships with a range of services to meet the learning needs of aged care providers in metropolitan, rural and remote areas across Queensland to provide culturally informed, respectful care.

Information events for CALD communities
Multicultural Partners holds aged care information events and expos for multicultural communities, in language and with translated aged care resources, to reduce barriers to accessing aged care services. We help build the capacity of older people from CALD backgrounds and their families to plan and make informed choices about their aged care needs.
