VicHealth was the first health promotion body in the world to be funded by a tax on tobacco. It represents a ground-breaking model for funding of public health programs.

Annual Report 2009

Annual Report 2009 coverThe past year has seen many of our partnerships and investments deliver considerable outcomes. Here’s a snapshot of some of the highlights over the year:

  • We hosted the international conference From Margins to Mainstream: 5th World Conference on the Promotion of Mental Health and the Prevention of Behavioural Disorders.
  • We committed an extra investment of $1.5 million to further reducing tobacco harms in Victoria.
  • We were integral in the development of a national plan to prevent violence against women and the development of a state plan to support cross-sector activity to prevent this violence.
  • We invested in the creation of Victoria Walks, an organisation focused on increasing the number of people who walk as a means of transport.

VicHealth's 2008 Annual Report was tabled in the Victorian Parliment on 15 October 2009. Download the full reports:
