What is the Community Partners Program (CPP)?
• The CPP is a Federal Government funded initiative designed to make mainstream aged care services more accessible to elderly people from Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds.
• The program aims to achieve this by identifying the barriers that hinder CALD elderly from accessing aged care services.
• Secondly, the program aims to identify solutions to breakdown these barriers & improve access to these services.
• This is achieved by WORKING WITH BOTH SERVICE PROVIDERS & CALD elderly.

Quick Facts
• The aged care system is a foreign concept for most ASME as many come from countries who don't have it.
• Many ASME are reluctant to access services because they assume providers will not understand, respect or accommodate for their religion.
• In Islam, physical contact between the opposite sexes is not permitted unless they are family.• It is desirable & highly respectful to call a middle age and elderly Muslim man “Hajj” & a
middle age and elderly Muslim women “Hajjah”, either on its own or in addition to their names.
