Multicultural Partners supports Queensland’s aged care sector to deliver inclusive, culturally appropriate care to older Australians from diverse backgrounds. Funded by the Australian Government under the Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care (PICAC) and Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) Service Sector Development (SSD) programs, we offer free training, mentoring, and resources. We help providers meet the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards and align with the Aged Care Diversity Framework through in-person and online education.

The PICAC Alliance is a national collective of organisations funded by the Commonwealth Government to implement the PICAC initiative in each state and territory. Since 1997, the Alliance has provided leadership, training, and resources to improve aged and community care services for culturally and linguistically diverse communities. It serves as a vital platform for collaboration, sharing best practices and advancing inclusive aged care nationwide.
The Alliance aims to be a leader in promoting culturally appropriate care in the field of aged and community services. In addition to providing information and training to member organisations, the Alliance also works to raise awareness about the importance of cultural sensitivity in caregiving. By advocating for the inclusion of cultural competency in the development of care services, the PICAC Alliance hopes to help create a more inclusive and respectful environment for all individuals receiving care.

Our resource library features a selection of informative materials for both aged care providers and consumers, ranging in topics from culturally inclusive aged care to aged care training & education.
