This website is almost exclusively in English but as Australia is becoming increasingly multi-lingual and derived from many ethnicities, there is a need to be responsive to, and inclusive of, all communities. Hence, the Foundation intends to make CBS information accessible in as many different languages as possible.
Translations are now available in 13 languages with the long term aim to significantly increase this number. Please contact the Foundation if you seek any of the listed translations below.

In the future, CBSF will be working alongside ethno-specific organisations to improve (public) awareness of CBS. Culture-specific issues may well surface in doing this and the Foundation will endeavour to be accordingly sensitive. It is anticipated, for example, that CBS symptoms may overlap with certain religious, spiritual and/or cultural traditions that assert seeing 'visions' as culturally normative. For example, the ability to see ancestral spirits. (This could become a murky area but there is a willingness to explore such alternative perceptual takes on reality.)
Please note that interpreter services are available if you wish to find out more beyond these basic CBS translated materials. Phone 131 450, provide CBSF's contact number 1300 121 123 and they will supply the relevant translator.
