The National Environmental Health Strategy, launched in October 1999, seeks to enhance environmental health management nationally by providing a framework to bring the diverse range of environmental health stakeholders together across the range of issues which encompass environmental health.

To commence implementation, the enHealth Council has developed the National Environmental Health Strategy Implementation Plan to address priority issues identified in the Strategy.

These issues are divided into three domains: environmental health justice, environmental health systems and the human-environment interface.

Environmental Health Justice

Indigenous Environmental Health
Sustainable Development

Environmental Health Systems

Economic Analysis
Health Impact Assessment
Health Risk Assessment
Information
Research
Standards and Guidelines
Workforce

Human-Environment Interface

Air
Built Environment
Vector-Borne Disease
Water (drinking and recreational)

The Implementation Plan recognises that within the domains of environmental health justice and environmental health systems, action is required at the national level and provides Action Plans that will be led by the enHealth Council.

Due to the diversity of roles and responsibilities within the domain of the human-environment interface, environmental health jurisdictions are encouraged to develop individual Action Plans. The Implementation Plan describes the methodology used for identifying where environmental health action is needed and how Action Plans may be developed thus providing a uniform approach for environmental health planning and management.
