Our culture, beliefs, language and relationships all contribute to our unique identity, which shapes an older person’s aged care journey. The Aged Care Act 2024 recognises older people’s rights to be treated with dignity and respect and acknowledge their identity, culture, spirituality and diversity.  Join OPAN and our expert panel as we unpack diversity in ageing and aged care. Explore how identity influences our lives, how rights protect dignity and inclusion, and how connection helps us thrive.
