Public health and wellbeing planning
Part- A
This is the 3rd Victorian strategy for public health and well-being and the main
framework through which they strive to achieve the highest possible standard in terms of safety,
well-being and participation in all ages of Victorians. Victorian people are experiencing high
standards of quality of living, health and wellbeing (Health.vic.gov.au, 2019). It is essential,
though, to acknowledge that health conditions vary significantly across citizens and the most
important cause of health disparities is socioeconomic disadvantage. People live from one or
more chronic diseases longer and often, so the first priority should be reducing the preventable
impact of disease more than ever. The Public Health and Wellness Act of Victoria 2008 includes
the development of a four-year program. In this plan has been developed as a comprehensive
approach to improving public safety and well-being for all victorians. This approach will
encourage action on the factors that most contribute to disease burdens and health inequalities;
ensure that all parts of the sector work together to achieve clear results and take into account
wider health determinants, social or economic, in designing and implementing interventions on
health and wellbeing (Health.vic.gov.au, 2019).
Part- B
The 2019–2023 Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan directs and provides a
framework for co-ordinated intervention to provide victorians of all ages with the opportunity for
optimal health and well-being, to participate fully in their communities in education and/or in
jobs (Health.vic.gov.au, 2019). The Victorian public health and well-being has established

optimistic goals for the future. Attaining these objectives calls for system-wide, collective action,
and everyone has a role, including:
 At the national level: Victorian government departments; high-level bodies; professional
organizations.
 At the local level: Regional and metropolitan governments; social and aging services;
early childhood services and schools; women's health services.
 At the service level: Hospitals; health and primary care organizations; health
organizations controlled by Aboriginal communities; agencies providing human services;
community organizations.
A comprehensive approach is needed to prepare and achieve better results for all Victorians
in public health and well-being. In order to do this they must: • push change towards those
factors which make a major contribution to disease and health inequality • collaborate together
on clear results in every aspect of the field • recognize larger health determinants, both socially
and economically, as to how they plan and execute public health and well-being initiatives
(Health.vic.gov.au, 2019).
The diverse combination between individual characteristics, way of life and the physical,
social and socioeconomic environment relate to health and well-being. Health and wellbeing
have a number of large determinants, including employment, early childhood interactions,
gender stereotypes, values and aspirations, schooling, jobs, social inclusion, accommodation and
environment, living and working environments, air quality, land and water and the health system.
These broader health determinants are part of the long term vision for public health and well-
being in Victoria and must be taken into account in designing and providing public health and
