Population Health Planning in Melbourne’s Inner East
The Inner East PCP supports partner agencies to collectively identify and act on the most significant issues affecting the health and wellbeing of our community or particular groups within the community.
The aim of this work is to:
- Demonstrate good practice in planning and the consistent integration of contemporary theory.
- Support collaborative planning.
- Identify key indicators for health and wellbeing and link these to evaluation strategies
- Facilitate collective identification of areas for joint work to enhance collective impact
- Standardise planning and evaluation processes
- Strengthen common understanding of local issues
- Articulate the partnership opportunities arising from joint planning.
Victorian Prevention Policy
Our work in prevention and population health is guided by the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2019-2023. This plan sets out the Victorian government’s priorities and vision to improve the health and wellbeing of Victorians.
The Victorian plan focuses on encouraging healthy living from the early years and throughout life.
The plan provides continuity for the priorities of the previous plan (2015-19), while recognising two leading threats to health and wellbeing globally: the health impacts of climate change and antimicrobial resistance (the ability to effectively treat infections in our community).
The plan gives additional focus to four priorities (focus areas) designed to drive coordinated action where we know we can make the greatest gains.
• Tackling climate change and its impact on health
• Reducing injury
• Preventing all forms of violence
• Increasing healthy eating
• Decreasing the risk of drug-resistant infections in the community
• Improving mental wellbeing
• Increasing active living
• Improving sexual and reproductive health
• Reducing harmful alcohol and drug use
• Reducing tobacco-related harm
