This is how Lensa Dinka and Marama Kufi greet their Oromo listeners when they discuss health issues on 3ZZZ radio every second Sunday.

The Noble Park couple, who were forced to flee the war-torn Oromia region in Ethiopia, have teamed up with Southern Health to bridge the culture gap between Oromo migrants and the wider Australian community.

The health workers, who had to learn English quickly to find work, were keen to get the radio show up and running.

"Now we bring information to the people in the old language," Mr Kufi said.

Ms Dinka, a nurse and community worker, said they wanted to connect the 8000-strong community living in the cities of Casey and Greater Dandenong with health experts.

"We want to reach those feeling isolated...we want to break down barriers of taboo, such as mental health and disability among children. "Some people are depressed but are too ashamed to ask for help. We need to say they must get help otherwise their problems might get worse."

Ms Dinka said confidentiality was a major concern among her people. "They need to know there are privacy laws in Australia to protect them."
