Building Better Health System To Support All Victorians

VIC Premier

The Allan Labor Government is building a stronger, more inclusive health system that works for all Victorians.

Across the state, Labor is giving Victoria's multicultural communities a direct voice in shaping inclusive, accessible and safe healthcare.

Minister Stitt and Minister Thomas today launched the Victorian Multicultural Health Survey.

Better care starts with listening, and this survey will identify barriers, improve access and deliver services that meet multicultural community needs.

This is all about making sure healthcare is free, safe and close to home, so it works better for every Victorian.

From access to interpreters and translated information to tackling discrimination in service delivery - the survey will drive change where it's needed most.

Survey insights will be shared through a Listening Report later in the year.

This will help to guide future policy planning and the next Multicultural Health Action Plan.

The survey is available in 14 community languages including Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Vietnamese and Punjabi.

It can be completed via Engage Victoria or through a local community engagement session close to home.

The survey is now open and closes on 31 May 2026.

As stated by Minister for Multicultural Affairs Ingrid Stitt

"We're listening to our multicultural communities so we can deliver a health system that works for everyone."

"Your experiences matter - and this survey is making sure your voice helps shape the care you receive."

As stated by Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas

"Every Victorian deserves a health system that is free, safe and respectful."

"We're getting on with delivering better care because we know that when we listen to our multicultural communities, we get the best health outcomes."
