The State Public Health Plan 2025-2030 (SPHP) has been launched to improve the health, wellbeing, and quality of life for Western Australians.
The plan has been developed to guide local governments, non-government organisations, communities and advocates in making decisions about public health planning.
Chief Health Officer Dr Andrew Robertson emphasised the importance of a long-term approach to public health. ‘For Western Australians to be the healthiest people in the world, we need a long-term commitment to address public health challenges.’
‘Public health planning encompasses every aspect of our lives that enables us to thrive. It provides the safeguards, policies and programs designed to protect, maintain, promote, and improve the health of individuals and their communities, and to prevent and reduce the incidence of illness and disability,’ Dr Robertson said.
The SPHP uses evidence-based insights, to establish statewide priorities across the public health landscape including:
- the effect of climate change on people’s health
- Aboriginal health and wellbeing
- equity and inclusion.
Resources have also been developed to help local governments tailor their plans to the unique needs of their communities.
All Western Australians are invited to engage with the SPHP and participate in its implementation.
