Abstract

The provision of special services for people of non-English speaking background in Australia emerged in the context of the development of policies of multiculturalism. This article documents the trends in state and federal policy development and service provision in the 1990s, as influenced by the sometimes-competing forces of political will, financial resources and community demand. The sustainability of various programmes is examined in the context of the continuing need to provide for people whose access to mainstream health services remains problematic.
