Healthy eating and being active can improve physical health and mental wellbeing and help older people stay independent. This training will look at how culture interacts with healthy ageing. We will explore culturally appropriate nutrition and how to encourage physical, social and spiritual wellbeing among people from multicultural backgrounds.

Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care (PICAC) NSW & ACT is part of the nationwide PICAC Alliance which is funded by the Australian Government to support aged care service providers to deliver care that meets the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people. PICAC NSW & ACT is auspiced by the Multicultural Communities Council of Illawarra (MCCI).
