The CarerHelp Diversity Project aims to support the diverse needs of Australia’s family carers. To promote the project and highlight the importance of tailored resources, we interviewed members from the CarerHelp Diversity National Reference Group (NRG).
In a Q&A style, interviewees discuss their role in the industry, primary areas that carers need help with, the importance of tailored information for diverse groups and what they look forward to in the CarerHelp Diversity Project. The scope of the project is also revealed:
- Associate Professor Mark Boughey, CarerHelp Diversity Project Lead, Centre for Palliative Care (St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Collaborative Centre of The University of Melbourne)
- Dr Kristina Thomas, CarerHelp Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Palliative Care (St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Collaborative Centre of The University of Melbourne)
- Di Saward, CarerHelp Project Officer and Research Nurse, Centre for Palliative Care (St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Collaborative Centre of The University of Melbourne)
