eccv presents at IFA Conference
Who Cares? We care.
On 4 May 2010, eccv coordinated the symposium Who Cares? Supporting Ethnic Family Carers at the International Federation of Ageing (IFA) 10th Global Conference in Melbourne. The symposium addressed the complex and often hidden needs of ethnic family carers in Victoria’s ageing and culturally diverse population from different perspectives of policymakers, practitioners, and academic researchers.
Marion Lau OAM JP, the Deputy Chair of eccv, presented Unready, Unwilling and Ageing: Strategies for supporting ethnic baby boomers and their parents
