Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Health Data and Research

In Australia the health needs of people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds is poorly captured. The Australian Bureau of Statistics developed the Standards for Statistics on Cultural and Language Diversity to assist in collecting standardised data. These Standards are not only inadequate to capture the cultural diversity in Australia, but the standards are poorly implemented – not one national health dataset has implemented the standards. 


We are caught in a vicious cycle: multicultural data is not collected, the needs of CALD populations are therefore not reported nor researched, there is little published research, and therefore inadequate investment is made in targeted health responses.
