In this webinar, we explore an inter-sectoral pilot project funded by the Department of Health that's building knowledge, confidence and safe access for newly arrived refugee communities in the City of Greater Bendigo.
You'll hear about how effective partnerships, workforce development, user co-design and resource allocation are strengthening culturally safe responsive cancer care for former Karen and Afghan refugees.
* This project is a partnership between Loddon Mallee Integrated Cancer Service, Bendigo Health, and Bendigo Community Health Services.
Ms Lockwood has a background in Public Health and International Health and has worked with diverse communities in Australia and the Asia Pacific. She is currently working with newly arrived refugee communities to support their health, wellbeing, and safe living. She is a strong advocate for creating safe, supportive environments for new Australians to learn, while supporting health services respond to the needs of our ever-changing community.
Eh Ta Mue works closely with the Karen community to build knowledge and confidence in a range of health topics, and support safe access to local services. She works across multiple health promotion projects, while also supporting the Refugee Cancer Project, developing and facilitating community focus groups, education sessions, and accessible in-language resources.
Ms Martin's strategic role at the LMICS encompasses nearly a quarter of Victoria, collaborating with 23 member health services. She has qualifications in Welfare and Public Health, with a career across a range of settings but with a focus in primary care. The population health lens of intersectoral collaboration and a curiosity about the root cause barriers and enablers to health, informs her collaborative approach to cancer service improvement.
