The Victorian Refugee Health Network is conducting a survey with settlement, health and community services to better understand how women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds access and navigate health services in Victoria.  
 
For the purpose of this survey, the definition of health services is broad – including GPs, specialists, hospitals, community health, health promotion and remote services such as hotlines and websites. Please answer all questions from your perspective working in the sector, whether you are referring to or providing health services.
 
Responses will be de-identified and used to follow up on areas of focus for the Refugee Women’s Health Community Consultation, commissioned by the Victorian Department of Health.
 
If you have any feedback regarding this survey, please contact Project Coordinator - Angela Keating: keatinga@foundationhouse.org.au or 0437 863 791.
