Engaging with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) young people around the topic of sexual health poses unique challenges.

Sexual health can also be a very sensitive topic in many of these cultures. This fact sheet may assist you when working with CALD young people around the topic of sexual health.

Aboriginal young people are a priority population group in the NSW Health STI Strategy. The following fact sheet may assist you when working with Aboriginal young people around sexual health.
