Participation with culturally and linguistically diverse comunities

In early 2007, Health Issues Centre prepared a discussion paper for acute and primary health services and the Victorian Department of Human Services. The discussion paper sought to identify generalised barriers and enablers for Culturally And Linguistically Diverse (CALD) consumer and community participation in health services and proposed a framework including clear and additional strategies and resources for meaningful CALD consumer participation. This excerpt identifies the key factors that help and hinder CALD consumer participation.
