Overview
The Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (the Act) aims to achieve the highest attainable standard of public health and wellbeing for the community of Victoria. This includes:
- protecting public health and preventing disease, illness, injury, disability or premature death
- promoting conditions in which persons can be healthy, and
- reducing health inequalities.
To support the implementation of the Act, a State Public Health and Wellbeing Plan is developed every four years.
The current Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2015-2019 sets a vision for a Victoria free of the burden of disease and injury, so that all Victorians can enjoy the highest standards of health, wellbeing and participation at every age.
The next Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan (2019–2023) will carry forward this ambitious vision. It will build on significant existing work outlined in the current 2015-2019 plan, and increase focus on tracking progress and measuring outcomes using the Victorian public health and wellbeing outcomes framework.
