Promoting a Healthy Australia

Promoting a Healthy Australia (the Australian National Preventive Health Agency) is committed to improving health outcomes for all Australians.

The Agency supports the development and implementation of evidence-based approaches to preventive health initiatives targeting obesity, harmful alcohol consumption and tobacco.

Major campaigns, initiatives and programs currently being undertaken by the Agency include:

The Agency will support all Australian Health Ministers in managing the complex challenges of preventable chronic disease.
