Why is health promotion important?
A healthy body and mind are important for all.
Health promotion supports people to improve their health.
If we want to have a healthy community, we need to have:
- safe and clean places to live and work
- enough healthy food for each day
- fair access to good education and healthcare
- strong relationships
What does the health promotion team do?
We work with community members to plan and deliver projects. The groups we work with may experience more barriers to health than others.
We want to make fair changes that last, help these communities be healthier, and show their strengths.
We work with many groups:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
- People from various cultural background including refugee or people seeking asylum
- People from LGBTQIA+ community
- Children and their families
