Guidelines for the Production of Multilingual Health Resources by Area Health Services, NSW Health Department and NGOs

These guidelines represent the NSW Health policy on multilingual health resources and describe the steps to be taken to find out about existing multilingual health resources, about producing new materials and about sharing them across the NSW Health system.

The guidelines apply to all providers of health care services within the NSW Health system, central administration and NGOs funded by NSW Health.
