We have an ambitious vision for the state of Victoria: a vision of a Victoria free of the burden of avoidable disease and injury, so that all Victorians can enjoy the highest attainable standards of health, wellbeing and participation at every age.

We all have a role to play in improving the health and wellbeing of Victorians.
