Connecting the pieces - A diversity, wellness & reablement podcast
The Eastern Sector Development Team host conversations about inclusive and responsive aged care services. We promote an intersectional approach to service delivery that recognises and responds to consumers diversity, their preferences, lived experiences and supports them to be empowered and active participants in their care. Our podcasts will explore person-centred care through a wellness and reablement model that is intrinsically aligned to progressive and inclusive diversity practice.

Understanding the vocabulary of diversity & inclusion is an important first step towards ensuring the concepts or ideas that sit behind the language are applied when working with older people.In this episode we explore the language and terminology used in the diversity and inclusion space and provide some straightforward explanations, examples and definitions. Specifically, we look at language around diversity, inclusion, equity, equality, fairness, belonging and intersectionality and we ask the question is there a difference between equity and inclusion, why are people talking about intersectionality, what is it and do I really need to know about it?
