The National Preventive Health Strategy aims to provide more balance to the health system by enhancing the focus on prevention and by building systems-based change over a 10-year period.
The strategy aims to improve the health and wellbeing of all Australians at all stages of life, through a systems-based approach to prevention that addresses the wider determinants of health, reduces health inequities and decreases the overall burden of disease.
This is a strategy for Australians; governments, the non-government sector, local health service providers, private providers, industry, communities and individuals. We all have a role to play.
