Centre for Culture, Equity and Health (CEH)

What we provide:

The Centre for Culture, Equity & Health (CEH), formerly known as the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity & Health, is a program of North Richmond Community Health, and began in 1994 with a focus on understanding how culture and ethnicity impact the way people experience health and wellbeing, and the way they access health services. We started out providing cultural competence training to healthcare professionals, and from this have amassed a library of resources on multiculturalism and health.

As CEH has developed, so too has our expertise in health and wellbeing, human rights, cultural competence and health literacy. We now work with a broad range of stakeholders through organisational training, peer and community education, collaborative projects, cultural consultancy, and resource development.

CEH offers a range of services, including:

• Training for service providers – The CEH Training team delivers practical training in cultural competence, health literacy, language services and multicultural community engagement. Their eLearning, online and in-person workshops, webinars and presentations help improve how workers and organisations work with people from multicultural and refugee backgrounds.
• Multicultural Health & Support Service (MHSS) – MHSS works with communities and health and community workers to support the health and wellbeing of people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, asylum seekers and international students, with a focus on preventing STIs and BBVs and promoting sexual and reproductive health.
• Projects and consultancy – The CEH Projects team partners with organisations to deliver projects, develop resources, undertake social marketing and support research.
