Strategic framework to improve health and wellbeing
The latest strategy for improving the health and wellbeing of Western Australians
was released in May 2023. The Western Australian Health Promotion Strategic
Framework 2022-2026 sets out a strategic plan to help empower and enable
Western Australians to lead healthier lives by supporting equitable and sustainable
improvements in health behaviours and environments. Treating chronic disease and
injury costs the WA healthcare system around $2 billion every year. The framework
outlines the health system's directions over the next 5 years for tackling one of the
state's biggest health challenges - preventing chronic disease and injury.

The comprehensive framework takes a whole-
of-population approach to preventing chronic
disease and injury. This will be achieved by:
reducing tobacco use in WA, especially
among populations at higher risk of
tobacco harm
strengthening the regulation of
alternative nicotine and non-nicotine
delivery products, including e-cigarettes

promoting environments that support healthy eating and active living
preventing and reversing childhood obesity
preventing and delaying the uptake of alcohol by children and young people
managing the supply and availability of alcohol
preventing falls in older people
improving safety in, on and around water.
The strategy builds on the many improvements WA Health's prevention programs
have already achieved, including lower smoking rates.
Prevention is the number one priority of the Sustainable Health Review, and the
framework upholds that focus.
The new framework features a map of the shared areas of work across all
WA public sector agencies that support the health and wellbeing of Western
Australians. The map is intended to guide the work of WA Health and its
stakeholders in building strong and supportive partnerships in prevention
across government. Creating environments that promote good health keeps
Western Australians healthier for longer and helps to make the health system
more sustainable.
