ECCV’s Policy Advisory Committee on Health and Wellbeing (PACHW), made up of multicultural advocates and service representatives, decided that the COVID-19 pandemic presented an opportune time to re-examine a number of important issues that ECCV had raised in previous Policy Papers on health literacy in CALD communities, and access to interpreting services in the Victorian health system.
In order to achieve this, ECCV consulted with several key stakeholders in the multicultural health sector, with individuals and organisations involved in the community response to COVID-19, and examined the results of a survey of health consumers regarding their use of interpreting services. The findings of these consultations and research are presented in this Policy Paper.
