What is Diversity Planning?

Diversity planning is a strategic population planning initiative that supports and encourages service delivery that is responsive and respectful of the specific characteristics of a person seeking services. These diversity characteristics (referred to as special needs groups) are outlined in the CHSP programme manual and HACC manual.

Diversity characteristics for CHSP

People who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds People who live in rural and remote areas People who are financially or socially disadvantaged People who are veterans of the Australian Defence Force or an allied defence force including the spouse, widow or widower of a veteran People who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless People who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) People who are Care Leavers (which includes Forgotten Australian, Former Child Migrants and Stolen Generations) Parents separated from children by forced adoption or removal Diversity planning also includes other characteristics that may be a barrier to accessing services such as dementia, age, socioeconomic status, gender, faith or spirituality

Diversity characteristics for HACC-PYP

People from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds People from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds People with dementia People living in isolated and remote areas People experiencing financial disadvantage (including people who are homeless

  • r at risk of homelessness)

Diversity planning also includes the characteristics within and across these groups and seeks to address other characteristics that may be a barrier to accessing services such as age, socioeconomic status, gender, faith, spirituality and those who identify as LGBTI

SLIDE 6

Why do Diversity Planning?

To ensure the human rights of consumers are continuously protected, promoted and any limitations are justifiable when accessing services. To be respectful and responsive to a person’s diverse lifestyle, uniqueness and needs To achieve equitable access to services for those who face barriers to service access To strengthen the capacity of funded organisation to deliver high quality, inclusive services Leads to better client outcomes Annual requirement DoH & DHHS Links to the Home Care Standards Successful planning should involve all levels of the organization including board members, managers, coordinators, community care staff and volunteers

Who is required to submit a diversity plan?

HACC PYP providers CHSP providers funded under the former Victorian Home and Community Care program, this includes providers that transitioned in full to the CHSP CHSP providers that were not previous Victorian HACC providers are encouraged to participate in diversity planning however it is not a requirement.

How do we do diversity planning?

Understand our target population Understand our client population Compare our target & client populations Identify groups not accessing our services Identify the barriers to access Develop an action plan Link to National Aged Care Diversity Framework

7 step Process to Diversity Planning

  • 1. Review

previous plan for success &

  • utstanding

priorities

  • 2. Collect & review

population data

  • 3. Collect & review

client data

  • 4. Analyse data &
  • ther relevant

information

  • 5. Identify gaps and

barriers

  • 6. Create priorities

& actions based on gaps/barriers

  • 7. Align actions

with "outcomes" from National Diversity Framework

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Step 1. Review previous plan

  • utcomes

Look back at the review of your previous plan Are there outstanding priorities that you weren’t able to complete? Are they still a priority or have things changed? What has worked previously, how can it be applied in other areas? How can you add to the successes of your previous plan?

Step 2. Collect & review population data

Step 3. Collect & Review Client Data

HACC PYP and CHSP client data

The following are client demographic reports that can be created for HACC-PYP and CHSP programs

16

Not all diversity areas are captured through FAC or DEX such as LGBTI, Care Leavers or parents separated from their children by forced adoption or removal. Therefore you may need to state that you are unaware of your client data for these area. You may have had clients provide this information, if so you can include a narrative that indicates this in the Client Population box

Parents separated from children by forced adoption or removal

In the past, adoption of children of unwed mothers was common. While separation by adoption continues, approximately 250,000 adoptions occurred during the peak period

  • f 1951 – 1971. Many pregnant women, most of whom were unmarried, and some

married, had little or no choice about what would happen to their babies. Some couples were provided with housing on the condition they relinquish a child or children for adoption. Adoptions were arranged without willing or informed consent, were unethical, dishonest and in many cases illegal and are therefore considered “forced”. A Senate Committee investigated forced adoption policies and practices in Australia.

Ageing and Social Isolation Further Reading

In 2015, the Commissioner for Senior Victorians investigated the issue of social isolation and loneliness among Victorian seniors. In his report of that investigation, Ageing is everyone’s business: a report on isolation and loneliness among senior Victorians, the Commissioner has identified a significant issue for

  • ur ageing population.

The Commissioner found that at least ten percent of Victoria’s older population experiences loneliness at any one time. The causes can be related to ‘trigger’ events in later life, such as leaving the workforce, death of a partner, living alone or moving to a new location.
