The purpose of the Partnership
To achieve this, we support sharing of good practice and collaboration among clinicians, community, health care services, and government agencies.
We provide focus both on the capacity of clinicians and health service organisations to provide culturally responsive care, as well as on the capacity of migrant and refugee communities to understand their health and navigate the healthcare system.
