LiveUp Better Practice Guide for Culturally Safe information about assistive products

iLA is committed to empowering older people across Australia with greater self-advocacy and self-determination in health and ageing by providing information in the way they want to receive it.

The LiveUp Better Practice Guide for Culturally Safe information about assistive products is the result of 2022/2023 engagement with older First Nations people and community-controlled service provider staff.

The Guide responds to a significant unmet need in the sector and identifies a set of guiding principles and better practice indicators, to improve the way in which iLA and the wider mainstream sector designs and delivers information about low-risk and under-advice assistive products to older First Nations people.

iLA is dedicated to continuing to inform development and investment in culturally sensitive information and service delivery for the years ahead. Please contact: general@ilaustralia.org.au: Opens in new window for any permissions, questions, or ideas for collaboration.
