Multicultural Children's Health resource request form

Multicultural Children’s Health Initiative

Australia has a diverse mix of cultural backgrounds and over 50% of the Australian population was born overseas or has one parent who was born overseas. People from multicultural backgrounds, particularly non-English speaking backgrounds, face a range of challenges including low English proficiency, adjustment to a new country and loss of close family bond and sense of community. 

People from multicultural backgrounds also often face barriers to accessing and navigating the Australian Health Care and Education Systems through: 

Unfamiliar health and education systems 
Lack of interpreter access 
Insufficient support to navigate these systems

In 2026 Brisbane North PHN will build on the success of our previous Multicultural Health Initiative by undertaking a Multicultural Children's Health initiative.  The initiative will introduce 3 bilingual resources that will be made available to parents at the time of the child’s 4-year vaccinations.   

Resources available:  

A school readiness checklist for students
A school readiness checklist for parents 
A nutrition activity booklet for children

In addition to English these resources are available in Arabic, Chinese, Dari, French, Karen and Punjabi.

These resources have been developed with the assistance of the Brisbane Refugee Health Advisory Group, our GP Liaison Officers, a dietician, a speech pathologist, early childhood educators, and people with lived experience.   

If you would like print copies of these resources, please complete this form and we will post these resources to you in the coming weeks.

Please note - printed copies of the resources are only available for providers in the Brisbane North PHN region, please check the PHN locator here prior to submitting your request. If you are a provider outside of the Brisbane North region, downloadable copies of all the resources are available on our website practicesupport@brisbanenorthphn.org.au and print-ready versions of resources can be requested from practicesupport@brisbanenorthphn.org.au
