Have Fun Butt Play Safe

The 'Have Fun Butt Play Safe' campaign is about improving the HIV health literacy of multicultural communities in Queensland and beyond. The campaign was developed by a consortium consisting of communities' members, service providers, and researchers, including True's culturally responsive health unit, the Queensland University of Technology, Swinburne University of Technology, Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland, Queensland Positive People, and Curtin University.

Responding to the needs of migrant and refugee populations

 

The Culturally Responsive Reproductive and Sexual Health Project works with migrant and refugee communities to increase health literacy and confidence in accessing services and information. 

People from migrant backgrounds may include people from refugee backgrounds, international students, tourists, travellers as well as the children of migrants.

The project’s reproductive and sexual health education materials, resources, and training is reviewed by the Culturally Responsive Health Advisory Group. The Advisory Group is comprised of various health and/or migrant and refugee sector professionals and focuses on accuracy, representation, and ethical issues.

The following video is an example of a resource that the project has made in collaboration with community partners.
