With an ageing population and high levels of migration to Australia, the Australian healthcare community must recognise individualised and cultural needs when approaching death and end-of-life care. Registered Nurse Elizabeth Lambert discusses her research into the cultural considerations for people from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds.
More education and training for nurses and care workers in providing palliative and end-of-life care, particularly in regional areas, is needed.
