Information Partner Newsletter Winter 2022
COVID-19 continues to be a key concern for Australians, and with flu cases rising, booster vaccinations for COVID-19 and the flu vaccination remain our best defence.
In this issue, we share a couple of ways we're making our services more accessible for multicultural Australia through a COVID-19 vaccine mobile phone call back service, a new multicultural helpline pilot and, the healthdirect website COVID clarity campaign now has simplified COVID-19 information in 16 languages. We also share information about our Knowledge Base, which lies at the heart of the National Coronavirus Helpline.
Our Partner in Focus interview is with Professor Dorothy Keefe PSM MD, CEO, Cancer Australia, and our Information Partners Parkinson’s Australia, the Heart Foundation and Karitane have contributed innovation stories.
