Building rapport and communicating effectively with clients from multicultural backgrounds will ensure a successful outcome when providing home care for that person.

Join Thana Roysmith from ECCQ’s Multicultural Advisory Service who presents a scenario where a care worker or support worker visits a client from a multicultural background. This episode offers some key considerations for care workers to assist them in providing quality care for their multicultural clients while also maintaining the standards, policies and procedures of their organisation.

Thank you to the guests and organisations that contributed to this episode.
