The
Multicultural Health & Support Service (MHSS) provides information and support
to individuals, families and communities on HIV/AIDS, blood-borne viruses (BBV)
and sexually transmissible infections (STI).
Most of our
work is with East African and Southeast Asian communities living in Victoria. Our services
to communities are confidential and free of charge.
We also work with health service providers to ensure that services are
accessible and culturally appropriate.
Community support
We assist people and their families
to access health services for testing, treatment or information.

relating to BBV and STI through community-based projects, campaigns, networking
and lobbying.

Culturally sensitive service
We work
with mainstream health and community service providers to ensure that STI and
BBV services are culturally sensitive and responsive.
