Many of our services at World Wellness Group are culturally tailored. It is widely understood that health services should provide interpreters to people who require language support. What is not easily understood is that we also need to provide cultural support in many instances, to help the health consumer to engage effectively.
One key way we provide cultural support at World Wellness Group is by engaging a Multicultural Peer Support Workers to work alongside the health consumer and health practitioner.
Another key way is through cultural tailoring of health information. Watch this video one just one project where we culturally tailored health information. The resources produced can be found here.
The lived experience framework can be found here.
Our blogs offer perspectives on multicultural health equity based on our experience from service delivery, health system insights, migrant and refugee contemporary issues, community engagement, research and health promotion. It is intended to share our learnings to increase sector skills, understanding and capacity to advance health equity in Australia. Providing a blog to our valued colleagues and community is how we give back and contribute to our shared work for health rights, equity and justice.

World Wellness Group acknowledges that the space we occupy and the place we conduct our work, has and always will be the traditional lands of the Turrbul and Yuggera people.
We understand that the connection between this land and its indigenous people has a special and spiritual significance that benefits social and emotional wellbeing. We pay our respect to the elders past and present of this ancient land and recognise that delivering equitable healthcare requires that we understand, appreciate and reflect our respect for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We commit to growing and nurturing our relationship with Indigenous Australians, to assuring their rightful place in the journey that is better health outcomes for Australia and to exploring the opportunity for partnerships and collaboration to benefit all.
