Health Translations
Health Translations is a free online library of high-quality translated Australian health and wellbeing information, funded by the Victorian Government, and made for healthcare workers and people who work with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
We’re experts in:
Cultural Competence
We’ve developed a Cultural Competence framework through which you can improve the way you deliver services. This framework enables you to assess and make improvements to every aspect of your organisation, and will help ensure that all your clients receive high-quality and culturally appropriate care.
Health Literacy
We are leaders in Health Literacy, with expertise in developing resources, health literacy courses training, and consultation. Health Literacy helps people understand and use health information to make better decisions. We support individuals, professionals, and health services to improve communication and access, leading to better health outcomes for all.
Community Education
Our Multicultural Health and Support Service (MHSS) is a leader in sexual health and blood-borne virus community education. We work with diverse communities through programs like the Multicultural Sexual Health Network Forum, Community Action Network, and Youth Ambassadors to raise awareness, build skills, and support better health outcomes.
Project Management
CEH has been contracted by the Victorian Government to manage and improve the Health Translations online library. Our team is dedicated to expanding the library and actively sourcing high-quality translated health information.
Diversity Links Victoria
This online directory brings together – in one place – links to bilingual workers, ethno-specific organisations, multicultural services, advocacy groups, and data sources across Victoria’s health, disability, and community sectors.
Cultural Competence Reflection Tool (CCRT)
The CCRT helps workers reflect on how well they understand and support cultural diversity. It gives feedback and ideas to build confidence and improve practice.
Cultural Competence Assessment for Organisations (CCAO)
The CCAO helps organisations check how well they work with diverse communities. It looks at things like leadership, communication, and services, and offers tips for improvement.
Resource Hub
Our Resource Hub offers easy access to CEH-developed tools, guides, and materials to support cultural competence, health literacy, and inclusive practice in health and community services.
