Diversity in Health
The conference provided an important opportunity for health professionals and policy makers to convene and listen to eminent local and international experts, discuss the latest research and consider the physical and mental health priorities for Australia's multicultural community.
It has broadened the understanding of the migration experience and the impact on health. The conference themes promoted inclusiveness where difference and diversity are embedded and respected.
The conference provided a new perspective on old issues and information on new challenges of health and well-being for multicultural Australia.
