Glossaries explain in a simple way what complicated words mean. These glossaries were made by the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity, and Health (CEH) in Victoria. They were created to make it easier for people to understand the complex words used in health services. The glossaries can also be helpful for interpreters. You can access these documents in English or in other languages.
