Join the 20-year Preventative Health Strategy consultation: Help to make sure that the the things that matter to families and friends get noticed and acted on.
Every Tasmanian deserves to live their best life – healthy, happy, and ready to take on life’s best moments. The Tasmanian Government is currently developing a 20-Year Preventive Health Strategy to make this a reality for all Tasmanians.
Why does this matter?
Because good health isn’t just about avoiding illness – it’s about feeling strong, happy, and able to do the things that matter. From spending time with loved ones to pursuing your passions, good health supports everything we do.
But here’s the important part: more than 70% of our health is shaped outside the health system. It starts in the places we live, work, and connect with others: in schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods. Safe streets, green spaces, thriving local businesses, and strong social connections all play a huge role in keeping us healthy.
To truly improve health across Tasmania, we need to address the root causes of poor health to create environments that make the healthy choice the easy choice and support people to live well from the start. A healthier Tasmania isn’t just the health sector’s job – it’s everyone’s business.
Preventive health isn’t a cost – it’s an investment in Tasmania’s future.
It means kids growing up with better opportunities, workers staying healthier for longer, and older Tasmanians enjoying a better quality of life. The 20-Year Preventive Health Strategy is our opportunity to build the kind of Tasmania we want for ourselves, our kids, and everyone who calls this place home.
Your health, your future, your say.
The Tasmanian Government needs to hear from the people who know their communities best – you. When you speak up, you make sure the things that matter most to you are heard and acted upon.
