#Victorians of all ages deserve a health system that prevents mental health conditions from occurring in the first place. Our State’s recent Royal Commission called for protected funding to tackle the causes of poor mental health. #VoteForPublicHealth

Aboriginal and Torres Islanders have the right for culturally effective #healthcare. The Victorian government must recognise their capability and humanity. This should be backed by an ongoing fund for ACCHOs to maintain with necessary healthcare Facilities. #VoteForPublicHealth

Vote for a healthier #Victoria this election! Funding #prevention saves lives and saves money! Every dollar investment in evidence-based prevention programs yields a greater return than treatment alone. #PreventiveHealthforVIC #VoteForPublicHealth PHAA Vic VicHealth

We've seen plenty of commitments to make room for people in hospitals, but it is critical to see actions that keep them out of there in the first place! The next #Victorian Government need to use stronger #policy and increase investment in #preventive #healthcare! #Election2022

As #publichealth professionals and voters, you have an important voice in the upcoming #election! Our election priorities outline strategies that support #Victorian communities to live, learn and work in #healthy environments. #VoteForPublicHealth voteforpublichealth.com

Currently only 2% of the health budget is invested in preventing illness and disease. The current pressures of the acute care system demonstrate the value of prevention as an evidence-based way to avoid the need for hospitalisation. #VoteForPublicHealth intouchpublichealth.net.au/an-election-on…
