CALD refers to “Culturally and Linguistically Diverse”
This website concept belongs to and is designed by Sue Lim, Service Manager of Waitemata DHB’s
Asian Health Support Services. In addition to developing this site Sue Lim has developed and led several WDHB Asian related strategic projects, developed a range of cultural training programmes, created the 24-7 Waitemata Auckland Translation & Interpreting Service (WATIS) for primary and secondary care services and a range of Asian culture-specific services for Waitemata DHB.
CALD Resources in this website refer to Classroom and Online Cultural Training Courses, Culture-specific Services and Programmes, e-CALD Toolkits and Booklets, e-CALD Compact Discs, Website links, Online Forum, and Online News.
The website is constantly developing and is intended to be the single platform for all health practitioners looking for CALD resources described above. In order to meet health practitioners’ support needs and also for their ongoing cultural competency learning to improve communication with CALD patients CALD Resources will continue to be developed.
