Supporting people who speak a different language
At Better Health Network we use translated health resources to help people understand, and make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. These resources are particularly valuable for individuals and families who prefer to receive information in a language other than English.
Interpreter services are also available to support clear and accurate communication between our clinicians and clients. Professional interpreters help ensure that important health information is understood and that clients can actively participate in their care.
You can check this list to identify your preferred language for interpreter support.
