Abstract
This multi-generational research project represents an academic partnership between Edith Cowan University (ECU) and Chung Wah Community Care (CWCC), conducted from February to August 2025. Through CWCC's established community participation programs, this collaboration provided both a rich platform for community engagement and an accessible entry point for an ECU Research Internship to collect and analyse in-depth data on the "homing" experiences of Chinese elderly immigrants in Australia.
The study employed a mixed-methods design, engaging 162 survey participants and 15 interview participants across CWCC's two service locations (Balcatta Hub and Willetton Hub) and one well-aged group of name as Evergreen College. This comprehensive approach enabled the collection of nuanced data on how Chinese elderly immigrants rebuild their sense of belonging and cultural identity through community participation, positioning CWCC as both a service provider and a vital research platform for understanding multicultural aging experiences.
