a Wellness Department?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I think that we should establish a "Wellness Department" to improve the health of all Canberrans.

The Australia's Health 2008 report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) released yesterday shows that some of the greatest improvements to the health of Australians can be made by helping people change their lifestyle.

What I mean is that In the ACT we have a Department of Health which is in reality a Department of Illness. I would like to establish a Wellness Department which would have as its mission the improvement of health and wellbeing for all ACT residents. We need to recognises that most people find it difficult to make lifestyle changes, so we want to help people to make these changes.

The new Wellness Department would introduce schemes to help Canberrans improve their nutrition, increase physical activity and reduce or eliminate alcohol and tobacco use, in line with the recommendations from the AIHW report. The schemes would be voluntary, and free or inexpensive to access. Basically We know the causes of ill health, we know the lifestyle changes needed to improve health, so what are we waiting for?"
