It takes a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to support people from refugee backgrounds to be healthy, thriving members of NSW.
People from refugee backgrounds, including people who are seeking asylum, have a profound impact on enhancing Australia’s social, cultural, and economic life. As well as their strengths, people from refugee backgrounds also have unique needs and challenges in keeping healthy.
Meeting these needs is critical because when people are healthy, they are better able to work, study, engage, contribute and have a sense of belonging.
Together with the NSW Plan for Healthy Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities: 2019-2023, the Plan commits NSW Health to address priorities including:
The NSW Refugee Health Plan 2022-2027 was developed with valuable contributions from people of refugee backgrounds, as well as partners across government, NGOs, and community organisations. It provides essential guidance to the NSW Health system to inform local health plans.
For more information about the Plan and what NSW Health is doing to support the health of people from refugee backgrounds, please visit the Refugee Health Policy website.
