Tackling racism and discrimination in aged care survey

by Leave a Comment

The Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care – PICAC Alliance is creating a new resource that will provide information and strategies on how to create a cohesive working environment without racism or discrimination within the aged care sector.

The survey will gather experiences that will give a voice to those who have experienced or witnessed racism and/or discrimination while working in the aged care sector.

The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete, and we would be grateful if you could share this email with your colleagues who work in aged care.

Should you have any questions regarding the survey or the resource email  admin@mcci.org.au

80% of Australian Muslims have experienced discrimination: survey 

by Leave a Comment

An Australian Human Rights Commission survey has found damning evidence of discrimination against Muslims in Australia. 

The Commission’s Sharing the Stories of Australian Muslims project found that almost 80% of those surveyed had experienced some form of unfavourable treatment due to their religion, race or ethnicity. 

Further, 23% said that they felt unable to speak up when they or someone they knew experienced discrimination. 

The Commission said that the study highlighted the importance of anti-racism and anti-discrimination strategies to deliver “systemic change for the future”. 

“The report highlights community-identified solutions to the challenges raised in connection to each of its themes,” the Commission said. 

Despite these negative findings, the report indicated that 63% of those surveyed found that Australia was generally a “welcoming society”. Further, 74% identified with being “Australian”. 

The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association continues to campaign against racism in Australian society. To find out more about their “Racism: it stops with me” campaign, visit their website.
