Multicultural mental health coordinator support

The Multicultural Mental Health Coordinator program is a state-wide program closely integrated with the Queensland Transcultural Mental Health Centre. Multicultural Mental Health Coordinators (MMHCs) are employed by local mental health services and act at a local level if people from diverse cultural backgrounds need them.

What MMHCs do

To make sure the mental health care meets the cultural needs of a patient, MMHCs:

  • take part in case discussions
  • do joint assessments and reviews of case management
  • share information about referrals to multicultural organisations
  • tell mental health care specialists how their patients can access specialist multicultural resources
  • deliver cultural competency training to mental health Hospital and Health Service staff
  • help organisations create quality and safety policies and procedures
  • strengthen mental health services' abilities to be culturally responsive to their patients’ needs.
