This discussion paper on Ethnic Seniors Clubs and Groups summarises the key issues that arose from ECCV’s consultations and discussions with representatives from ethnic senior citizens’ clubs and culturally diverse seniors groups.
It is intended to guide Victorian Government planning in relation to healthy ageing policies and promotion of active and social participation of seniors from non-English speaking backgrounds in Victorian community life.
The findings underline the importance of ethnic seniors clubs and groups to maintain the wellbeing of seniors from non-English speaking backgrounds in Victoria for the years to come. It builds on the long-term ECCV policy advocacy for seniors from non-English speaking backgrounds.
The discussion paper also includes sixteen key recommendations to assist State Government planning directed at ethnic seniors clubs and culturally diverse seniors groups and the wellbeing and health of seniors from seniors from non-English speaking backgrounds.
The Sixteen recommendations focus on the purpose and benefits of seniors groups, their membership structure, governance and financial administration, innovative, languages, digital literacy and emerging challenges in the years to come.
