Ethnic Affairs Priorities Statement Report 2006-2007

All public sector agencies are required to report annually on their Ethnic Affairs Priorities Statements (EAPS) under the Community Relations and Principles of Multiculturalism Act, 2000.

The SESIAHS report contains information about the collaborative work of hospitals, Area Programs and the Multicultural Health Service to improve health service delivery to the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) population that they serve. This is outlined in respective sections relating to achievements as well as initiatives planned for the forthcoming year.

The SESIAHS EAPS report for the financial year 2006-2007 indicates a comprehensive level of activity and performance in the five designated areas of planning and evaluation, program and service delivery, staffing, communication and funded services.
