A high level response should identify what multiculturalism is along with reasons for what their health needs may be and why they might be different to people born in Australia. Response should also details possible implication on healthcare in regards to this and draw on the research and data to highlight your points.

Question 2.

Draw on examples in the Australian context to illustrate your key points.
