Who we are

The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) is a statutory authority with an independent chair and board of governance with vast experience in health, sport, the arts, research and communication.  

Established by the Victorian Parliament as part of the Tobacco Act 1987, VicHealth works in partnership with organisations, communities and individuals to promote good health and prevent ill-health.

VicHealth's position as a member of the International Network of Health Promotion Foundations gives us access to national and global health interests, strengthening our ability to promote and advocate good health.
