Long Summary

This report reveals the findings of six focus groups which explored the experiences and needs of carers from CALD communities. The report identifies a number of common themes that emerged in all six focus groups, including limited awareness of formal services, cultural barriers, carer identification, financial hardship, and low digital literacy.

    Key Messages for Carers


  • Low digital literacy and a lack of appropriate services were identified as barriers for carers accessing services
  • Greater financial assistance was identified as a need among CALD carers

  • Key Messages for Policy Makers


  • Provides valuable insight into how to better support CALD carers
  • Discusses a range of challenges experienced when conducting focus groups in CALD communities
