What brings us together
What brings us together
Complex health and wellbeing challenges cannot be understood from a single disciplinary or professional perspective. We are interested in what becomes possible when different forms of knowledge come into conversation: research and practice, clinical and community expertise, language and culture, evidence and lived experience. Our work engages with areas including:
intercultural and multilingual communication
mental health and wellbeing
women’s health
family and sexual violence
ageing and dementia
interpreter health and wellbeing
health literacy and access
culturally responsive and inclusive practice
Across these areas, we ask how intercultural perspectives can help us better understand health experiences, improve communication and practice, and contribute to more equitable systems.

Creating change together
Creating change together
The Hub is built around dialogue, partnership, practice and reflection. We bring people together to:
create meaningful partnerships across research, healthcare, industry and community
develop intercultural and transdisciplinary approaches to research
foreground lived experience and multiple forms of expertise
use methods including co-design, storytelling, critical reflection and community consultation
translate research into education, professional practice and policy
reflect critically on how collaborative research creates, evaluates and sustains societal impact
Rather than treating interculturality simply as difference between national or cultural groups, we also explore the encounters that take place between professions, disciplines, institutions and ways of knowing.
How we work
How we work
Our aim is not simply to conduct research about communities, but to create conditions in which researchers, practitioners and communities can learn with and from one another.
Through collaborative research, events, workshops, training and knowledge exchange, the Hub seeks to build stronger relationships, develop new approaches to intercultural health and wellbeing, and support changes in policy and practice that are responsive to the communities they serve.
