Help Shape Better Support for CALD Dementia Carers: Join the CT-iSupport Project

Are you a professional working with people living with dementia or their carers from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds? Do you have experience supporting communities who speak Bahasa, Cantonese, Greek, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish, or Vietnamese? If so, your insight is essential!

What is the CT-iSupport Project?

The CT-iSupport Project, led by Flinders University, is a unique opportunity to co-design better support systems for CALD carers. This facilitator-enabled program offers:

• Dementia care skill training using the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed iSupport for Dementia program.
• Peer support networks.
• Coaching for carers in their preferred language and cultural context.

Who Can Join?

You are invited to participate if you:

1. Lead, manage, or provide direct care services for people with dementia and/or their family carers from CALD backgrounds.
2. Have at least three years of experience in dementia care.

What’s Involved?

Your participation will include:

• Completing a pre-workshop survey (30–45 minutes).
• Attending a workshop (1.5–2 hours, online or in person).
• Completing a post-workshop survey (10–20 minutes).

As a token of appreciation, you will receive a $150 gift card for your time and contribution.
