National Preventative Health Strategy

The Preventative Health Taskforce will be developing the National Preventative Health Strategy for return to the Minister for Health and Ageing.

The Strategy will provide a blueprint for tackling the burden of chronic disease currently caused by obesity, tobacco, and excessive consumption of alcohol. It will be directed at primary prevention and will address all relevant arms of policy and all available points of leverage, in both the health and non-health sectors, in formulating its recommendations.

More information on the Strategy will be provided as it becomes available.
