CORE 1: What actions are needed to address Australia’s health priorities?
Health Promotion based on the five action areas of the Ottawa Charter
THE BENEFITS OF PARTNERSHIP IN HEALTH PROMOTION EG. GOVT. SECTOR, NOT GOVT. AGENCIES AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

More comprehensive health promotion

Partnership in health promotion enables health to be promoted through:
Advocacy, Legislation, Programs, Policy change, Community projects, Consultative community meetings and Surveys and analysis of local health data
HOW HEALTH PROMOTION BASED ON THE OTTAWA CHARTER PROMOTES SOCIAL JUSTICE
SCA
EQUITY
Equity both in, and between communities is important in health promotion. Communities suffering health inequities need to be utilised and empowered in order to improve their health eg. ATSI involvement in the implementation of close the gap
DIVERSITY
Each community has its own diversity and needs to be consulted in health promotion. eg. large Lebanese population in Bankstown.
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS
communities that become empowered to need an environment that supports their health and choices. This requires access and availability of services and facilities. eg. Bushwalks being maintained in the Blue Mountains to encourage locals to walk
DPS
EQUITY
all people should have access to education and skill development, regardless of socioeconomic, socio-cultural and environmental determinants. eg. PDHPE compulsory until Yr10
DIVERSITY
programs should be personalised to cater for the diversity within our population (ethnic, socioeconomic) eg. Health pamphlets in multiple languages with images.
SUPPORTIVE_ENVIRONMENTS
people share their skills and knowledge within their environment making it more supportive. eg. Parents educate and model for their children who do the same in their peer groups
CSE
EQUITY
An environment isn't supportive if it does not seek to provide equity. eg. more access to HC for rural and remote
DIVERSITY
To be supportive, an environment must cater to the diversity of the people in that environment. eg. translators for specific groups in hospitals and HC centres
SUPPORTIVE_ENVIRONMENTS
Creating supportive environments that encourage healthy choices is vital in health promotion eg. ensuring good parks with sufficient space etc
RHS
EQUITY
Health services must address the inequities in health. eg. Mental health support, promotion of seeking support and mental health services for people in rural and remote locations
DIVERSITY
Health services must meet the diverse needs of the community as they are in. eg. Promoting eating a balanced diet among ATSI people to prevent some chronic diseases
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Health services must help provide a supportive environment. eg. Multipurpose service program for rural and remote people
BHPP
EQUITY
Public policy is designed with the aim of producing equity in health status eg. medicare provides access to HC services for low SES etc
DIVERSITY
BHPP accounts for the diversity of our population, seeking to provide for all groups. eg. "close the gap" aims to remove the health inequities between ATSI and greater Aus.
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS
BHPP should aim to produce an environment that supports healthy choices eg. no smoking in pubs and clubs
