Preventive Health report
July 31, 2013
The Australian National
Preventive Health Agency has
released its first ever State of
Preventive Health report, which
aims to give a comprehensive
overview of current health
challenges facing Australians in
relation to chronic disease.
It highlights the “substantial
leadership and effort” that is
currently underway in Australia
to reduce the key risk factors for
chronic disease, with areas covered
including obesity and physical
inactivity, tobacco use and the
harmful use of alcohol.
Key issues raised include an
increase in overweight and obese
children and adults over the past
few years, as well as widespread
levels of harmful alcohol
consumption across the country.
The report also highlights
moves towards health promotion
becoming a registered profession in
Australia, as well as work by Health
Workforce Australia on collating
data on “selected allied health
professionals, including those
with significant preventive health
responsibilities such as dietitians,
pharmacists, oral and mental health
workers, hygienists and opticians”.
