what we do

A collective statewide approach

Effective health promotion needs to reach across every place where we live, work, learn and socialise. This means every sector and setting has a role to play in supporting better health for all Victorians.

We provide coordination, capacity-building and support so that organisations and communities across the state can take real action towards a healthier, safer and more equitable Victoria.

 

 

We help bridge population-level frameworks and community-level action, supporting all three levels of government to achieve the visions set out in their legislation, policies and strategies, including:  

  • Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2023-2027

  • Our equal state: Victoria’s gender equality strategy and action plan 2023-2027

  • Free from violence: Victoria’s strategy to prevent family violence and all forms of violence against women

  • Victorian women’s sexual and reproductive health plan 2022-2030

  • Royal commission into Victoria’s mental health system – recommendations implementation

  • Wellbeing in Victoria: a strategy to promote good mental health 2024-2034 (forthcoming)

  • Health and human services climate change adaptation action plan 2022-2026

  • National women’s health plan 2020–2030

  • National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032

  • Working for women: A strategy for gender equality 2024–2034 (Commonwealth)
