AUST | VTMH | WEBINAR | PHN Multicultural Health Framework: A national approach to cultural responsiveness | Wednesday 19 June 2024 | 3pm-4pm

[Edited extract from public address]

There are 31 Primary Health Network (PHN) regions in Australia all with different populations, contexts and ways of working.  

The PHN Multicultural Health Framework was launched in February 2024 to provide high-level guidance and best practices for PHNs in order to improve health system access and equity for multicultural communities across all PHN regions.

While this tool is specifically for PHNs, it has a strong focus on collaboration across the health system and other sectors and so this is an important opportunity to learn about the Framework and how you can work alongside your local PHN to improve health and wellbeing outcomes and experiences for multicultural communities in your region.

Speakers
  • Andrea Vancia, Cultural Diversity Program Manager (Brisbane South PHN)
  • Michelle Ravesi, Access, Equity and Engagement Lead (NWMPHN)

This session will:
  • provide an overview of the PHN Multicultural Health Framework
  • showcase PHN activities aligning with Framework action areas.
VTMH seminars are open to individuals, from all disciplines and working in all sectors, who are based in Australia and interested in diversity and mental health.
