WPHU launches Action Guide for local and municipal public health and wellbeing planning
The Western Public Health Unit (WPHU) has developed a new Action Guide to support local and municipal public health and wellbeing planning, or equivalent health planning.
Developed through consultation with local partners and a comprehensive analysis of current data and evidence, the guide provides a framework for collective action within the three WPHU priority areas:
- Reducing vaping and tobacco-related harm
- Healthier eating and food systems
- Climate and its impact on health.
These priorities align with the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2023 – 2027.
By working together at scale through common actions, shared tools, and consistent evaluation, we can take a systems approach to address priority areas and strengthen health outcomes for our communities.
WPHU extends its thanks to all those who contributed to the development of this guide. We look forward to our continued partnership with those in our catchment to support the improved health and wellbeing of our communities.
