Welcome to the first issue of the HealthInsite Newsletter, offering
examples of
topical, interesting and useful items available through HealthInsite.
The Newsletter will be delivered to your nominated email address at
the end of every month.
In this issue:
- Newsletter launch
- New information partners
- Searching for information in other languages
We're very excited about being able to launch our new email newsletter.
This service is available to any HealthInsite user by simply supplying
an email address and password. We will bring you updates
on new partners, topic pages and new features every month. We will
also bring you hints on how to get the most out of HealthInsite and
perhaps introduce you to features that you haven't yet discovered.
As always your feedback is very welcome by sending an email to healthinsite.feedback@health.gov.au.
This month we welcome two new information partners to HealthInsite.
The Australian Huntington's Disease Association NSW Inc. (http://www.ahdansw.asn.au/)develops
support and educational programs for people affected by Huntington's
Disease in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Andrology Australia (http://www.andrologyaustralia.org) is committed
to providing information to consumers and health professionals to
improve understanding of male reproductive health disorders.
To become a HealthInsite information partner, organisations
meet our quality assessment criteria and are approved by the Editorial
Board. This process ensures that the information available through
HealthInsite is reliable and up-to-date. You can find
a complete list on the Current Information Partners page
at http://www.healthinsite.gov.au/content/internal/page.cfm?ObjID=0000F658-0495-1D2D-81CF83032BFA006D
Many Australians who speak languages other than English face challenges
in finding health information for themselves, other family members
or friends. To find out how to access HealthInsite resources in languages
other than English go to http://www.healthinsite.gov.au/content/internal/page.cfm?ObjID=0006D736-04DB-1D2D-81CF83032BFA006D
Several of our partners offer information in languages other than
English. The NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service offers
over 450 publications on health in a wide range of languages and a
new publication is produced each month. Some multilingual resources
produced by other services are also listed on this website and there
are links to related websites. The Multicultural Health Communication
Service can be found at http://mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au/
Another of our information partners, Victoria's Better Health
Channel, has recently launched it's new Health Translations Directory
which links you to multilingual health information. This new online
service
makes available even more information in languages other than English
to HealthInsite users. The Directory is available at http://www.healthtranslations.vic.gov.au
