Multicultural community

The NT is a diverse place, with people from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. This is one of our greatest strengths, however people may still experience discrimination because of their culture or ethnicity. Cultural factors can also make it harder for people in some communities to seek and access health care and support.
