Draft State Public Health Plan 2025-2030

Overview

You are invited to review and provide feedback on the draft State Public Health Plan 2025-2030 (the draft SPHP).

On 4 June 2024, Stage 5 of the Public Health Act 2016 was implemented, requiring the Chief Health Officer to publish the SPHP by 4 June 2025.

State and local governments each play a role in improving the health and wellbeing of Western Australians. Public health planning is an important planning function across government and complements other local government planning areas such as asset management and emergency services. It ensures on-going assessment of public health needs by the government, addresses gaps and priorities, and fosters partnerships across government, non-government organisations (NGOs) and the community to promote collaboration and innovation. 

If there are issues with provision of feedback, please contact us via DoH.PHPlanning@health.wa.gov.au.

Why your views matter

The SPHP offers a strategic framework to enhance the health and wellbeing of Western Australians and guides organisations in incorporating public health perspectives into their planning. 

The public consultation allows the Department of Health to evaluate whether the draft SPHP provides a clear framework to improve the health and wellbeing of Western Australians.
