Yarra Glen Primary School has received its first Health Priority Area recognition 12 months into their Achievement Program journey.
We know that prevention is better than a cure, so we are working hard to place prevention at the centre of efforts to deliver lasting improvements to the health and wellbeing of Victorians. By aligning our efforts across government, across organisations, and across communities, we can deliver real improvements to the lives of Victorians.
Yarra Glen Primary School has received its first Health Priority Area recognition 12 months into their Achievement Program journey.
Creating healthy places where we spend our time is at the heart of healthy change. By working collectively across our communities, and across our schools, workplaces and more, we will deliver positive change for all.
Recognising the unique strengths, vulnerabilities and complexities of people and communities allows for a flexible, integrated and real-world response with people and populations at the centre. By placing people at the centre we can create better health and wellbeing for all.
The health of our environment impacts on the health of our population. To provide for the best possible health outcomes for Victorians, we are supporting healthy and sustainable environments and liveable, connected communities.
As Melbourne’s population grows to 9 million by 2056, we need to think differently about how government works with communities to design our city, improve public health and support a transition to a low carbon future.
