Last Friday, the Health in My Language (HIML) team attended Melbourne Town Hall for the first-ever ‘My Health, My Language’ forum, a national event celebrating the power of language, culture, and community in improving health for migrant and refugee women.
The Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas MP, Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services, officially opened the forum, followed by The Hon. Rebecca White MP, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Indigenous Health, and Women, who led the launch of the Health in My Language Sexual and Reproductive Health Evaluation Report.
For the first time in three years of delivering the HIML program, the national team came together in person, bringing together 81 Bilingual Health Educators, 7 project coordinators and managers from across all states, along with external stakeholders.
Over the past 12 months, national partners and Bilingual Health Educators engaged with more than 8,000 community stakeholders and delivered 515 sessions across the country! “Our bilingual health educators are delivering empowerment to the communities.”
Special thanks to for organising the forum and their ongoing support.
