Communities Direct Health Information
Access to accurate, accessible, up-to-date health information is more important now than ever. And for many refugee and migrant women, basic literacy in their own language can be a struggle due to being denied formal schooling in their countries of origin.
​
To reach more people, and to do our part in keeping Victorians safe, we have worked in collaboration with Community Four to develop Communities Direct - a migrant and refugee-led initiative that supports culturally and linguistically diverse groups to access important COVID updates through their trusted networks.
​
Weekly updates, priority messages, and significant announcements are:
Collated directly from Government sources
​
​
Translated by professional translators, in text & audio for varying literacy levels
​
​
Sent on behalf of community leaders through their established direct messaging networks, including Viber and WhatsApp
