Org-HLR Self-Assessment Tool Pilot Project

In late 2015 the INW PCP formed a research partnership with Deakin University to implement a health literacy project that formed part of a PhD study under the Ophelia Victoria Project.

The Project involved piloting the Organisational Health Literacy Responsiveness (Org-HLR) Self-Assessment Tool with agencies across the North and Western Metropolitan regions.

Project Aim

The aim of this project was to pilot the Org-HLR Tool* with partner organisations across the north and west metropolitan regions.

Project Objectives

1. To test the usability of the Org-HLR* and inform improvements to the tool.
2. To assess the health literacy responsiveness of organisations in the region and determine their current strengths and limitations.
3. To support partner organisations to prioritise their HLR improvement activities and/or develop organisational health literacy actions plans.
