Seeking multicultural cancer patients and carers to improve cancer information resources 

For State-wide, regional and rural WA especially, and men: Community consultations on the cancer information needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) consumers and carers will be held for men, particularly 1st September, and all regional multicultural people 13th September 2022. There are no cancer resources or publications specifically for culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) patients or carers for Western Australian regional communities, men specifically. A consultation discussion project aims to start the process to change that. Health Consumers’ Council (HCC) WA is seeking multicultural, ethnically and linguistically diverse people in the State’s regional and rural areas, and men in particular across metro Perth, to discuss cancer information needs. HCC is specifically looking for CaLD people who have or had cancer – patients – or who are caring for, or cared for, a loved one with cancer to participate in discussions.
