Catalogue of NSW Multilingual Health Resources

Use the Catalogue Online to locate health information in English and up to 35 other community languages (not all publications are available in all of these languages). A complete list of publications available through the Catalogue is also available as PDF files that can be downloaded for viewing or printing.

Please note: to view the PDF Catalogue you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat on your machine, please ask your Network Administrator to install it for you. (If you're not sure whether you have Adobe Acrobat or not, a simple test is to try to view the Catalogue. If you can't, it's likely that you don't have Adobe Acrobat).

All the publications are grouped by subject and by language. We also included an index page. To make it easier for you we decided to split the catalogue into four pdf files.

The Catalogue lists over 450 pamphlets, booklets, brochures, and signs, which you can download as PDF documents to read and print out.

The Catalogue is automatically updated as new topics become available.

You can also click on Index by Language for a full list of resources in each language.

Guidelines for the Production of Multilingual Health Resources by Area Health Services, NSW Health Department and NGOs

These guidelines represent the NSW Health policy on multilingual health resources and describe the steps to be taken to find out about existing multilingual health resources, about producing new materials and about sharing them across the NSW Health system.

The guidelines apply to all providers of health care services within the NSW Health system, central administration and NGOs funded by NSW Health.
