A joint university festival is exploring how poor access to quality housing is shaping the health of diverse populations. Health literacy rates are even lower in those born in non-English-speaking countries, with three-quarters ((75%)) of people who have come to Australia from a non-English speaking country having trouble understanding health information. Praba Maheswaran has the story in Tamil, written by Stephanie Corsetti and Keira Jenkins for SBS News.
