Session Overview: "Our modern societies are as culturally and linguistically diverse as ever, and this is reflected in the caseloads of audiologists no matter the workplace setting. Interestingly, however, this same level of diversity is not commonly reflected within health professionals themselves which has important implications for the provision of culturally and linguistically responsive care. Additionally, a culturally responsive audiology practice can play a significant part in improving the hearing health outcomes for our first nations people. This session will focus on how to be a culturally and linguistically responsive audiologist in a multicultural Australia, including how to provide a culturally and linguistically responsive audiological service using the principles of patient- and family-centred care."
