Care Across Borders: Supporting an Older Person in another Country or State
Caring for an older person does not always happen locally. And, even when it is ‘local’, the older person may be from a very different place. Our UQ community is diverse, as is wider Australia. Recognising that, this seminar explores the challenges of cross-border and cross-cultural care as well as the types of innovations and life-hacks that can help remote or multicultural carers.
Panel:
- Ms Marina Chand: Executive Director – Social Impact & Strategy, World Wellness Group
- Mr Chuen-man Chang: Aged Care Navigator, World Wellness Group
- Dr Peter Worthy: Interaction Designer and Lecturer in Human-Centred Computing, UQ
This session is also available via Zoom
About Age-Ed Seminar Series
About the Series
Age-Ed is a new support network for those who care for older persons at UQ, which is run by UQ Law academics with lived experience of informal aged care or research expertise on ageing. The network fosters evidence-based education, peer support, and interdisciplinary research opportunities on aged care within the UQ community. Through seminars, Carers’ Cafés, and collaboration with UQ’s Age Friendly University and Dementia Friendly University initiatives, Age-Ed aims to help carers manage the legal, practical, and emotional impacts of care, in line with the UQ values of respect and inclusivity. Age-Ed also works closely with the UQ Network for Carers of Children with Special Needs and Serious Chronic Illnesses.
