Question: In order to explore facilitating the autonomy of diverse older adults in health contexts, we are invited to choose a diverse ageing population (E.g. First Nations People, LGBTIQA+, Refugees......) and make a presentation investigating healthy ageing in this specific population.
This presentation should include structures and supports* available to this population which may be local, state or national initiatives. These structures and supports are to be based in the Australian context.
The presentation must address all the following points:
• What are the unique challenges faced by this specific diverse population, and how might these be relevant to people's health as they age (cultural, spiritual, psychological, social and physiological health)?
• What is the importance of the ageing person's role in determining their own life and health context?
• What services and initiatives (not for profit, NGO, government, private, other) are in place to address the challenges that might be experienced by this specific diverse ageing population?
• How can nurses advocate for older consumers to ensure they have choice in relation to these services/initiatives?
