Health Literacy Training Courses

The majority of Australians have low health literacy.

At least 6 out of 10 people you see may have trouble  understanding and using the information you give. This fact has lead to Health literacy being included in the Safety and quality standards.

What does this mean for Australian service providers?
It means you need to make healthcare easier.

You need to create policies, systems and train staff with the health literacy of your clients in mind:

  • Plan all services with the understanding that most of you clients may have trouble understanding what you tell them
  • Use plain language communication in all written and spoken interactions with clients
  • Collaborate with your clients to design and improve services and communication.

We can help you make your organisation easier to understand and use.
