Our 2021-2025 Health Plan addresses key themes for community health and wellbeing.
Health and wellbeing are crucial to how livable our area is. It's a complex issue, influenced by more than just personal lifestyle choices.
Our Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan is the strategy we've developed to pinpoint and address health and wellbeing priorities for our community here in Yarra.
Our 2021-2025 Health Plan outlines six key themes for addressing health and wellbeing matters in Yarra:
- Assisting to reduce the harms from tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs and gambling
- Promoting gender equality and reducing gendered violence
- Promoting physical wellbeing
- Promoting community safety
- Promoting mental wellbeing
- Assisting to reduce the health harms from climate change
At Yarra, our Health Plan is integrated into our Council Plan. Read our Council Plan.
In addition to the Health Plan, we have developed the Operational Supplement: Health and Wellbeing Activities 2021-25 (OSHWA) [ PDF, 9.98 MB] . The OSHWA is an output of Yarra's Council Plan 2021-25 and sets out the actions Council will undertake to protect, improve and promote public health and wellbeing in Yarra.
