We believe that to influence the health outcomes for ethnic communities, we need to strengthen community infrastructure and encourage local action.
Government must develop a long-term strategy to achieve health equity for ethnic communities.
We recognise Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa.
Ethnic Health Collective does not work directly with individuals and families but instead seeks to establish strong collaboration among service providers, community and cultural organisations, and the ethnic health workforce.
Good health is central for ethnic communities to achieve their potential in Aotearoa. Health and well-being are critical to fulfilling family lives, building social networks, belonging, and contributing to society.
Based on the 2018 census, Ethnic Communities make up almost 20% of the NZ population, projected to grow faster than any other population group.
