Migrant & Refugee Health
There are increasing numbers of migrants and refugees settling in the Murray Mallee which is an identified piloted area for the SA Migration Program.
The Murraylands now has a diverse cultural pool with migrants from Afghanistan, Africa, Europe, China and the Philippines. By far the largest group of migrants since 2005 are from China. With many difficulties encountered in moving to a new country, not least of which is the barrier created by being unable to communicate in a common language.
It is important for these people to have access to health services and this work is continuing to be developed in collaboration with the Department of Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, Migrant Settlement Program, Multicultural Resource Centre of S.A. and Murraylands Regional Development Board.
