2010 National Multicultural Marketing Awards
MHCS was recognised as a finalist at the 2010 Community Relations Commission's National Multicultural Marketing Awards for its Healthy and Tasty Challenge CALD Recipe Competitions Campaign. Commissioned by the Australian Better Health Initiative, this campaign supported the national "Measure Up" initiative. Targeting six communities, including Chinese, Filipino, Italian, Samoan, Sri Lankan, and Tongan groups, the contest promoted healthy eating by encouraging the submission of recipes featuring fruits and vegetables. The goal was to raise awareness of the '2 + 5' campaign, which recommends two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables daily to reduce chronic disease risks.
2009 National Multicultural Marketing Awards recognises two MHCS projects
The NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service (MHCS) has received recognition at the 2009 Community Relations Commission's National Multicultural Marketing Award for good practice in the development of multilingual and marketing campaigns for two projects: a communication campaign targeting parents of children from 0 to 5 years old from Arabic, Chinese and Vietnamese backgrounds and a project to develop and promote a DVD and resource kit for families with a child or a young person with a child with a disability from Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan.
The 2007 National Multicultural Marketing Award recognises Multilingual Quitline Campaign of MHCS
For the second year in a row, the NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service, was selected as finalist in the Advertising Section in the annual Community Relations Commission's (CRC) National Multicultural Marketing Awards.
The print and radio campaign, developed for the Cancer Institute of NSW in Arabic, Italian and Vietnamese, aimed to promote the first smoking cessation service staffed by professionally trained bilingual information officers.
The awards, held at the Westin Hotel in Sydney on the 16th of November were presented by NSW Premier Morris Iemma. They recognise best practice in advertising and marketing to culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
NSW Multicultural Communication Service was the winner of the 2006 Advertising Award
MHCS partnered with the National Breast Cancer Centre on a national campaign aimed at helping women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds overcome cultural barriers in the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. The campaign provided accurate, culturally appropriate information in Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Italian, and Vietnamese, empowering women to make informed health and treatment decisions. A major breakthrough was the use of multilingual advertising, which allowed women to discuss this sensitive issue anonymously over the phone in their first language, with bilingual breast cancer information consultants available to assist.
