Making healthy choices easier for everyone
The Hub hosts the best and most trusted online health literacy resources. Our aim is to make it easier for consumers to find and understand health-related information, to be able to make the best decisions about their health. For health professionals, the Hub provides access to resources on health literacy and practical tools to aid communication with patients and the public.
The Health Literacy Hub and University of Sydney Health Literacy Lab, in collaboration with Western Sydney Local Health District, Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health Districts, and South Western Sydney Local Health Districts distributed surveys from March 21st to July 9th, 2021, to capture COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in our diverse community.
