Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2023 - 2027

It is a requirement of Victoria’s Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 to produce a plan every four years. In this plan we set out a comprehensive approach to deliver improved public health and wellbeing outcomes for all Victorians.

Informed by extensive community consultation, the plan balances a need to narrow focus to drive coordinated action while supporting local innovation.
