The Australian Multicultural Health Collaborative

The Collaborative works at the national level to voice the broad health and wellbeing needs, including research, of Australia’s culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

The Collaborative represents the voices of a wide range of CALD health and well-being issues at the national level through a formal membership structure. This structure includes CALD consumers, health and wellbeing services, health and social care practitioners, researchers, and organisations and institutions primarily focused on health for CALD populations. The Collaborative also welcomes ‘mainstream’ services and organisations with a significant commitment to CALD health and wellbeing as members and enters into partnerships with relevant national organisations. The title ‘Collaborative’ signifies the manner in which members work together – in genuine collaboration on agreed priority areas, drawing on each other’s focus areas and expertise on specific issues.
