Chinese-speaking community We collaborated with the Priority Populations Unit and the Chinese Australian Services Society (CASS) to produce two new digital resources for people from Chinese speaking backgrounds. Healthy Family, Happy Life We worked with community to co-design a website in both English and Chinese which hosts healthy lifestyle information and resources for pregnant women and parents/ carers of children aged 0-12 years from Chinese-speaking backgrounds.

We co-designed 12 videos that aim to reduce known risk factors for chronic disease and improve the health and wellbeing of young people from Chinese backgrounds. These digital resources are available in both English and Chinese. This project was funded with a grant CASS received from the Public Health and Chronic Disease Program, National Women’s Health Strategy and National Men’s Health Strategy.

Pasifika Research Initiative Along with four other LHDs in Greater Sydney, we have continued to partner with Western Sydney University to implement a five year study called the Pasifika Preventing Diabetes Programme. The program aims to test whether a church- wide lifestyle and peer support intervention for Pacific Islander communities reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. We will continue to partner with churches to enroll participants and undertake data gathering activities in 2023.
