Research tells us more than half Australians struggle to understand their health and our health care system. These Australians have a limited understanding of their bodies and how the health system works. This is made worse by over-complicated, jargon-riddled health communication.
Our new and innovative online course Health Literacy Essentials gives you the skills and knowledge to reduce confusion, communicate effectively and improve outcomes for your consumers.

How does Health Literacy Essentials do this?
Health Literacy Essentials gives your staff the skills to communicate more effectively with consumers. It highlights issues caused by low health literacy and provides fun and engaging activities that let your staff practice the solutions. As soon as your staff finish the course they can start using what they’ve practiced to improve their work!
Health Literacy Essentials has four sections – each building on the knowledge of the last.
Benefits
Using this online training, you can quickly develop an organisation wide understanding of health literacy with minimum disruption to service provision. If this training is part of a wider initiative, you can leverage this training to support and maximise health literacy work at your organisation.
At CEH we spend a lot of time thinking about how we can help you work better with people from migrant and refugee backgrounds, call us to see how you can do this using eLearning.
