Promoting a Healthy Australia (The Australian National Preventive Health Agency) invites you to participate in a second consultation process to develop the National Preventive Health Research Strategy 2012-2016. The Agency welcomes submissions from all stakeholders to finalise this important guide for preventive health research in Australia.

How to submit your comments

There is no specified format for submissions. Comments and contributions on the draft strategy and research priorities are now requested by Friday 7 September (the original closing date of Friday 31 August has now been extended).

Submissions should be sent to knowledgehub@anpha.gov.au
Enquiries should be directed to: 02 6289 2871

Note that all submissions will be published on the Agency website shortly after receipt, unless you indicate to the Agency any material that you are supplying is done so in confidence. Submissions made by individuals will be published with their name and the state or territory in which the individual resides, but all other personal details will be removed from the submission before it is published on the Agency’s website.

How your submission will be used

Submissions will inform the further development and refinement of the final strategy. Submissions specifically referring to the chronic disease risk factors, of obesity (which includes nutrition and physical inactivity matters), tobacco and the harmful use of alcohol, will be referred to the Agency’s Expert Committee in each of these areas for consideration. Submissions specifically referring to matters of data collection, surveillance, research infrastructure and so on, as well as those addressing healthy living generally and prevention of other risk factors will be referred to the Agency’s Expert Research Committee for further consideration.

The final Draft National Preventive Health Research Strategy, including the research priorities, will be prepared for discussion by the Expert Committees (alcohol, obesity, tobacco and research) and the Agency’s Advisory Council. The expected release date of the final strategy is early 2013.
