What are they, why are they dangerous and what you can do about it

The choices commercial organisations make can create healthier, happier and fairer communities - or the opposite.

Reshaping systems together for a healthier, fairer Victoria.

We know that our postcode is one of the strongest predictors of our life expectancy. This is because the built environment shapes our health in many ways. Access to parks and open spaces, healthy and affordable food, sports and recreation opportunities, healthcare services, public transport, education, and employment, all affect our ability to access and achieve good health. That’s why our 10-year strategy focuses on better planning and how we design for safer, fairer, healthier, and more connected neighbourhoods.
