SUMMARY:MAC Symposium - From Rights to Practice: Creating Cultural Safety Across Diversity in Aged Care
DESCRIPTION:From Rights to Practice: Creating Cultural Safety Across Diversity in Aged CareMAC National Symposium 2026 | Wednesday\, 25 November 2026 \nWhat does cultural safety look like in everyday aged care when we consider the diversity of the people we support?Join Multicultural Aged Care (MAC) for a national symposium exploring how identity\, lived experience and diversity shape experiences of safety\, inclusion and belonging in aged care\, and what it takes to translate rights into culturally safe everyday practice. \nCultural safety extends beyond culture and language\, encompassing the diverse identities\, lived experiences and needs that shape each person’s experience of care. Older people bring diverse identities\, experiences\, ways of communicating\, beliefs and needs to aged care. Creating genuinely safe and inclusive care requires us to understand this diversity and consider how our own assumptions\, practices and organisational environments can influence a person’s experience of care. \nWhy attend?This symposium will bring together community voices\, lived experience and sector perspectives to explore cultural safety and intersectionality across different dimensions of diversity\, including: \n\nCultural and linguistic diversity (CALD)\nLGBTIQ+ identities and experiences\nDeaf and hard of hearing communities\nNeurodiversity\nFirst Nations perspectives\n\n\nWhat to expectThrough a series of focused presentations and discussions\, speakers will explore: \n\n\nwhat safety\, inclusion and belonging can mean for diverse people and communities\nhow rights\, identity and individual needs translate into everyday aged care practice\nbarriers that can affect a person’s experience of culturally safe care\nhow beliefs\, assumptions and ways of working can influence the experience of care\npractical considerations for creating more inclusive and responsive aged care environments\n\n\nDesigned for the aged care workforce\, providers and sector partners\, the symposium will offer practical insights and different perspectives to support reflection and culturally safe practice. \nThe symposium will offer practical insights to support culturally responsive care\, quality improvement\, preparation for quality reviews\, and understanding of the Specialisation Verification process. \nBecause recognising rights is only the beginning. The challenge is putting them into practice in ways that enable every older person to feel respected\, understood and safe. \nMore guest speakers and full program details will be announced soon.
