Understanding the Impact of Organisational Health Literacy Initiatives on Clients
This research undertaken by Dr Lucio Naccarella on behalf of HealthWest explores the impact of health literacy initiatives on clients in four organisations. The evaluation aims to identify:
• the impacts of organisational health literacy initiatives on clients
• the contextual factors (enablers or barriers) that influenced the impacts of organisational health literacy initiatives on clients
• what is required to sustain the impacts of organisational health literacy initiatives on clients
• the principles that contributed to the impacts of organisational health literacy initiatives on clients
The research demonstrates that change is occurring in organisations and consumers are reaping the benefits of this change.

Strengthening our health communication systems: Pandemic lessons for Melbourne’s west
Effective health communication during the pandemic has been particularly challenging for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. In Australia, the communication response has lacked clarity, coherence and coordination. To assist in future planning and recovery efforts in the region, HealthWest Partnership engaged Trezona Consulting Group to undertake a review of available literature to identify the elements of an effective health communication system. This review draws upon literature from COVID-19 and other pandemic or emergency responses. The report provides detailed recommendations for regions, governments and local implementers, including considerations for engagement with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
