In partnership with the Commonwealth and the state and territory governments, ANPHA is driving the national capacity for change and innovation around preventive health policies and programs.
ANPHA’s establishment was a key recommendation of the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission and the National Preventive Health Taskforce to strengthen Australia’s investment in preventive health and help turn the tide on the rising prevalence of preventable chronic diseases.
ANPHA supports the development and implementation of evidence-based approaches to preventive health initiatives targeting obesity, harmful alcohol consumption and tobacco.
Major projects and campaigns currently being undertaken by ANPHA include:
- The National Tobacco Campaign,
- The Measure Up - Swap it, Don’t Stop it obesity prevention campaign; and
- The roll-out of the National Binge Drinking Strategy expansion measures.
