The New South Wales health department says certain groups have higher rates of health-related problems such as heart disease.
Type 2 diabetes, for example, is a particular concern in the Chinese community.
One way health workers are raising awareness are with community events like lunchbox competitions in which, meals are judged on appearance, taste and nutrition.
The Department acknowledges that policies targeting multicultural health initiatives are driven by the ‘principle of equity and that all people living in NSW have good health through access to the best quality health care and health information.’
