Introduction to Consumer Representation 

Advanced Consumer Representation

Diversity Dialogues Forum

  • These sessions are opportunities for health service staff to meet and talk with people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) backgrounds in a safe and supportive environment. The aim is to support staff to understand what is important for consumers when experiencing healthcare, and to learn about various cultural aspects of working with people from CaLD communities.
