The Health Literacy Workplace Toolkit has information and practical tools to help health and community workers respond to health literacy needs. This means making it easier for people to access, understand, appraise and use health information and services. It also means creating a supportive environment. This is important in meeting the quality standards set for health and community sectors.

It doesn't matter where you start. Scroll down to the topic that's important for you today – and jump right in.

Don’t forget to check out the Resources and Background button for more examples, videos, references and links.

When you climb back out, we'd love to hear from you! Please let us know how you found this toolkit and any suggestions to improve it.
