Australia is a culturally and linguistically diverse country. Understanding how people from diverse backgrounds interact with aged care services is particularly important given older people already face more complex health needs and challenges in navigating the health system. This Infocus report describes how Australians born overseas use aged care services. New data development activities that can increase understanding of how people from diverse backgrounds access and use the Australian aged care system are also covered.
