Refugee Health Care

Whilst many refugees will have similar health concerns to their Australian - born counterparts, they may also have issues specific to their country of origin and their migration and settlement experience. General practice and primary health has a key role to play in undertaking post-arrival health assessments and providing ongoing care. This workshop aims to provide basic information and skills to assist in this process.
