What is this article about?
Australia is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse nations in the world. Almost 30% of the population were born overseas, over 300 languages are spoken, and over 120 religions practised. Although all Australians have the right to equitable healthcare, patients from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds (including Aboriginal Peoples) may experience significant barriers to accessing and using healthcare services and suffer adverse events including medication errors, misdiagnosis and healthcare-associated infections.
