Cancer Screening Flyers Tailored for People with Low English Literacy

The Social Policy Group (SPG) created a series of three flyers on Australia’s bowel, breast, and cervical screening programs, and delivered these in Easy English format. With the goal of explaining the programs specifically for people who have lower English literacy, these three flyers are available for viewing, distribution or download from the SPG website.
Resources such as the Easy English flyers offer an additional way of accessing important cancer screening information for Australia’s diverse communities.

Take Part in Research on Mental Health Stigma

Deakin University is seeking participants for a study exploring experiences of mental health stigma among Indian Australians living in Victoria. The purpose of the research is to better understand the lived experiences, thoughts, and feelings about mental health and wellbeing from the community. Findings will help inform culturally responsive approaches to mental health support. This research is approved by Deakin University’s Human Research Ethics Committee (Project ID: 2024‑178).

Who can participate:

  • Adults (18+) with cultural and/or familial links to India
  • Currently residing in Victoria

The research is led by Isha Bali, a qualified Social Worker and PhD candidate researching mental health stigma in the Indian Australian community. You can contact Isha Bali via email to learn more about the project and express interest: isha.bali@deakin.edu.au
