What are the barriers to accessing appropriate and culturally safe sexual and reproductive health care for women from multicultural backgrounds? Most migrant and refugee women on temporary visas do not have access to Medicare coverage.

Even for those women who may have access to Medicare, many are forced to grapple with services that aren't culturally safe or fail to cater to their diverse linguistic or cultural needs.
