This research project is funded by the Victorian Healthcare Assocation, and aims to support healthcare agencies across Victoria to build their skills in, and understanding of, population health approaches to planning. This project will define a common language, purpose, and identify the current barriers to population health approaches to planning in Victoria. It will also develop a tailored framework and toolbox of resources to support and guide the healthcare sector to play a leading role in moving to population health approaches to planning at local, regional or statewide levels. It provides an opportunity to make inroads into both preventing and managing a range of health conditions, as well as promoting better health in the general population.
