2 slices white bread
2 onions, chopped
25g butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1kg packet lean minced beef
2 tbsp Madras curry paste
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
3 cloves
5 allspice berries
2 tbsp peach or mango chutney
3 tbsp sultana
6 bay leaves For the topping
300ml full-cream milk
2 large eggs

STEP 1

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Pour cold water over the bread and set aside to soak.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter, stirring regularly for 10 mins until they are soft and starting to colour. Add the garlic and beef and stir well, crushing the mince into fine grains until it changes colour. Stir in the curry paste, herbs, spices, chutney, sultanas and 2 of the bay leaves with 1 tsp salt and plenty of ground black pepper.

STEP 3

Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Squeeze the water from the bread, then beat into the meat mixture until well blended. Tip into an oval ovenproof dish (23 x 33cm and about 5-6cm deep). Press the mixture down well and smooth the top. You can make this and chill 1 day ahead.

STEP 4

For the topping, beat the milk and eggs with seasoning, then pour over the meat. Top with the remaining bay leaves and bake for 35-40 mins until the topping is set and starting to turn golden.

Education:
Immigrants find it harder to receive education in Australia because they aren't able to get the support that makes it easier for citizens to receive an adequate education. For example HEX, non Australian citizens who aren't able too afford studying are less likely to want to seek studies.
Moving from your native country to a foreign country can also contribute to your overall education including language barriers, the learning content, their schooling system, lack of diversity in schools and also discrimination.

Unemployment:
Immigrants/refugees when seeking work can come across language barriers and also cultural differences making it harder for them to obtain a job, this can result in making migrants less wanting to get a job because it can be difficult moving to a new country and might not have the proper working qualifications where in their own country it so it gives them less of an opportunity for work. Being unemployed means no income for health services or benefits, they could be caring for multiple family members so when it comes to making sure everyone is accessible to clean water and food medicines wouldn't be as obtainable.

Housing:
Living conditions may differ from which country immigrants migrate from, they might off been used to sharing one bedroom and not being able to keep up with their hygiene or household cleanliness. Refugees finding housing in Australia difficult, with the lack of rentals, language barriers and also affordability. This affects refugees or immigrants coming from their country making enough to afford their lifestyle harder because of the fewer job opportunities because of their qualifications.

Comparing my understanding before, I have improved my knowledge of health in cultures and also the importance behind it. Having applied health to my culture I now feel more open to learning about how other cultures and how they are connected to their health. This skill will be useful to me in the workplace because when I interact with patients of different cultural backgrounds I can share mine and try make them feel as comfortable. Because I am not confident with every culture I will now need to maintain awareness of others cultures and beliefs. Initially I felt that my culture didn't play that much of an importance to my health care profession subsequently as I continue learning it has made me more open minded.
