What is Healthy for Life?
Healthy for Life is an Australian Government program, announced in the 2005-06 Budget, which provides funds to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers, babies and children. It also aims to improve the quality of life for people with a chronic condition and, over time, reduce the incidence of adult chronic disease. Following a decision by Minister Roxon in July 2008, men’s health can now be included in new Healthy For Life services from Round 3.
