Are you part of Victoria’s multicultural community?
The Victorian Government wants to hear from you about your healthcare needs and priorities through the Victorian Multicultural Health Survey.

Your feedback will help us to identify what is working well and where improvements are needed across public health services, community health, virtual care and general practice.

By identifying and addressing barriers, we can ensure that every Victorian receives safe, inclusive and high‑quality care – no matter where they were born, what language they speak or how they engage with the health system.

The survey takes 20 minutes to complete and is available in 14 languages.

We were thrilled to celebrate Theresa and Delia, who flew the full length of the Murray River in a single day as participants in the international Dawn to Dusk competition. They recently received the Bonney Trophy in England for this accomplishment.

Their extraordinary flight was undertaken in memory of their friends and fellow pilots, Helen and Marjy, who lost their lives to cancer. Their journey also raised funds for our Counterpart service, and their generous donation is helping support our free online series of Yoga4Cancer classes.

Congratulations to Theresa and Delila on their well-earned award, and sincere thanks to everyone who supported their Alps to Ocean fundraiser.

Our next Yoga4Cancer series begins soon! For details and registration, visit: https://counterpart.org.au/events/yoga4cancer-series-4-may2026/
