The Diversity Health Institute Clearinghouse is a central access point for information on multicultural health in Australia. Its aim is to bring together the myriad of work conducted in the area nationally.

Cultural competence, refugee health, nutrition, sexual health, drugs and alcohol, mental health, ageing, and disability are just some the issues encompassed by the Clearinghouses brief. Priority listing is given to information that is relevant to a wide range of people, is publicly accessible, and produced by reputable organisations or individuals.

The Clearinghouse is not a lending service. Rather, it is a focal point directing users to where they can access the information or service they need.

As an information gateway, the DHI Clearinghouse helps minimise duplication of effort. Consumers, researchers, and healthcare providers alike no longer have to look in a multitude of places to find information on multicultural health.
