The image is a stylised illustrated infographic set in a coastal and island landscape. It visually represents the principles required to build public trust and social licence in a Learning Health System.

On the left side of the image, a lighthouse sits on a small island. The lighthouse is labelled “Demonstrate the benefits of the Learning Health System”. Below it, text emphasises value in deliberative democracy. Small illustrated people near the base of the island represent the public.

In the water nearby, a sailing boat represents communication that is considered and deliberate. A sign in front of the boat reads “Build public trust through listening, not telling”. The message highlights the importance of two‑way engagement rather than one‑directional communication.

Moving toward the centre of the image, a series of signposts stand in a darker, rocky area. These signs emphasise caution and governance, with messages including:

  • It is crucial to understand and build public trust.
  • Be cautious that regulatory barriers are not an undue burden to data use.
  • Risks and benefits are managed across the data lifecycle.

These elements collectively represent careful navigation of policy, regulation, and risk.

On the right side of the image, a mountain rises, symbolising outcomes and success. At the top, a flag labelled “Success” is planted. Along the mountain path are icons and text representing foundational enablers, including:

  • Clear frameworks
  • Efficient systems
  • Data protection and privacy
  • Build and maintain broad and ongoing community engagement
  • Social licence and public trust

A public health building icon sits near the summit, linking these foundations to improved public health outcomes and benefits.

Throughout the image, water, land, and pathways connect each element, reinforcing the idea that trust, governance, communication, and privacy work together as part of a whole system.

At the bottom of the image, the title reads:
“Learning Health System – Strategic Advisory Committee – 10 Dec 2025.”
