Why is health promotion important?
A healthy body and mind are important for everyone.
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
- meaningful relationships.
What does the health promotion team do?
We work with community members to design, develop, and deliver projects. The community groups we work with experience more challenges than others. We want to create fair and long-term change in these communities that improves their health and highlights their strengths.
We work with a range of community groups, including.
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- people with refugee or asylum-seeking experience.
- people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer.
