This Women's Health Week (7–11 September), is encouraging women to "Do It Anyway" — taking small, realistic steps towards better health, with each day exploring a different topic through practical information, expert advice and real stories.

The Health Translations Library is proud to be a content contributor to Women’s Health Week 2026, with more than 260 translated women’s health resources covering topics including menopause, sexual and reproductive health, nutrition and health checks.

Because understanding your health shouldn’t depend on how well you read English. Access translated women's health resources here

This is a timely reminder that menopause can look and feel different across cultures, that’s why we’re excited to host a special webinar with Renea Camilleri, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, to explore menopause across multicultural communities.

Join us for this free 30-minute webinar on:

Every year, around 300 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer in Victoria. About 1 in 5 is from a culturally or linguistically diverse background.

For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we want to highlight the work of the Victorian Paediatric Integrated Cancer Service (PICS). PICS leads Victoria's Childhood Cancer Service Improvement Network, producing over 100 resources to help families navigate a diagnosis - from tests and treatments to staying healthy during and after.

A childhood cancer diagnosis is hard enough for families, without adding a language barrier. This is why the Health Translations Library hosts over half of PICS's resources, including nearly 50 medication fact sheets, in languages other than English — so families can find trusted information in their own language, when they need it most.

The Gold Ribbon is the International Awareness Symbol for childhood cancer, with gold being the international colour of childhood cancer awareness.

tThis Asthma Week (1–7 September), Asthma Australia is shining a light on women and asthma. From childhood through to older age, hormonal shifts across a woman's life can change how asthma affects her — and in Australia, 1 in 5 women live with asthma, with women twice as likely to die from it than men.

Understanding your asthma shouldn't depend on how well you read English. The Health Translations Library supports this campaign by providing free translated asthma resources — action plans, fact sheets and management guides — in community languages, so people and their families can better understand and manage this condition.

Menopause can be understood and experienced differently across cultures, yet culturally responsive information and support are not always easy to access.

Our next webinar will be an opportunity to learn more with Renea Camilleri, Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager at Jean Hailes for Women's Health. Renea will share key learnings from Jean Hailes’ capacity-building work with bicultural workers and explore how we can strengthen culturally responsive menopause support.

Join us to learn, share and build our understanding of menopause across diverse communities.

At the Ethnolink Summit yesterday, Siri and Anni from CEH enjoyed hearing from large organisations and government departments such as South-East Water and the Department of Transport and Planning applying community engagement principles in their work:
- To work with multicultural communities, you need to first build trust and engage with local community partners.
- Ensure that the information you provide to communities is grounded in their context, with practical tips for everyday life.

Principles shared by Ethnolink and CEH, based on years of experience working in the community!
