Statewide Health Literacy Hub - Official Launch

About the Event:

The Statewide Health Literacy Hub aims to enhance health outcomes and promote equity through best-practice approaches in health literacy. As part of the NSW Health Elevating the Human Experience Implementation Plan 2022-2023, the Hub focuses on a consumer-centric approach, striving to build leadership and capacity at local and system levels. Our vision is an equitable healthcare system in NSW, where everyone has easy access to clear, understandable health information.

"Be part of a movement that's transforming healthcare into a more compassionate and inclusive space. The Statewide Health Literacy Hub is dedicated to making health information clear and accessible for everyone, ensuring no one is left behind. Rooted in the NSW Health Elevating the Human Experience Plan, we're building leadership and capacity to create a healthcare system where everyone feels informed, empowered, and cared for. Together, let's make healthcare more accessible."
