VicHealth is the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation

Health promotion is a powerful, cost-effective and efficient way to maintain a healthier community. It enables people to increase control over and improve their health. Rather than focusing on people at risk for specific diseases, health promotion involves the population as a whole in the context of their everyday lives. Activities are geared toward promoting health and preventing ill-health.

VicHealth is The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, and is the peak body for health promotion in Victoria.
