Draft WA Health Promotion Strategic Framework 2017-2021 Public Consultation

Overview

You are invited to review and provide feedback on the draft WA Health Promotion Strategic Framework 2017–2021 (WA HPSF). The WA HPSF sets out a plan for reducing the prevalence of chronic disease and injury over the next five years. It builds on the achievements of the previous versions (2007-11 and 2012–16) and takes into account new evidence, policy changes, and relevant state, national and international developments.

The WA HPSF focuses on the main lifestyle risk factors which contribute most to the burden of chronic disease– including overweight and obesity; poor diet; insufficient physical activity; smoking; and harmful levels of drinking. It also includes a section on preventing injury and promoting safer communities. It articulates related priorities and a framework for action to improve the health of the Western Australian population.

While the WA HPSF outlines WA Health's strategic direction and priorities, influencing the wider determinants of health to achieve a healthier WA will require the involvement of many partners. As such, it is anticipated that the WA HPSF will be useful for agencies and organisations across a diverse range of sectors with a shared interest in promoting better health in WA. 

Why we are consulting

To obtain feedback on the WA HPSF to further strengthen the document and ensure it is a robust policy framework that can be used by WA Health, its partners and stakeholders.
