Older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds can face challenges when navigating health services, including overcoming language and cultural barriers. Multicultural Health Week 2025 focuses on practical ways we can all support older people in our families and communities. From encouraging regular physical activity and healthy eating, to supporting cancer screening and regular GP visits, small actions can make a big difference.
MHCS is also pleased to introduce our Youth Ambassadors. These young people are stepping up to raise awareness among their peers and families about supporting older people to be healthy and socially connected. Meet our Youth Ambassadors.
Do you have story about how you support yourself or a loved one around healthy ageing and how you help keep older people at the heart of the family and community? Share your story.
For Multicultural Health Week 2025, MHCS has partnered again with the NSW Ministry of Health, Cancer Institute NSW and Prevention Education and Research Unit, to deliver important health messages to keep older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds at the heart of their families and communities.
