For health workers
Culturally safe animations and brochures to help you explain health information to Aboriginal patients and families. Some are available in Aboriginal languages.
In the consult
Play an animation on a phone, tablet or clinic screen and talk it through with your patient and their family. Most run for just a few minutes.
Where a resource is available in an Aboriginal language, switch to that version on the resource page.
Use the Share button on any resource to send the link by text, or copy it into an email, so patients can watch again with family.
Brochures can be downloaded as a PDF and printed at A4 or A3 for handouts or waiting-room walls.
In practice
Plain-English clinical messages become culturally grounded translations, built with Aboriginal communities for the clinicians and health workers on the ground.
