Multicultural Women’s Health Access and Navigation

RFP-2526-02

Applications close 10am AEDT 9 September 2025

Background

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities in SENSW face significant barriers to accessing healthcare, including language differences, health literacy challenges, and cultural insensitivity within the healthcare system. These challenges can lead to poorer health outcomes, underutilisation of services, and increased health disparities.

COORDINARE - SENSW PHN invites proposals from eligible organisations to design and deliver a culturally responsive women’s health education initiative.

The initiative aims to improve health literacy, access to care, service navigation, care coordination, and engagement among women from multicultural communities across SENSW. The initiative will address key health priorities including family planning, sexual health, women’s health screening, and preventative care, while considering the unique needs of diverse populations.
