Report of the Victorian 2014 Consultation on Health Literacy

This report was prepared for the Department of Health Victoria, under the advice of the Health Literacy Subcommittee of the Participation Advisory Committee of the Victorian Department of Health.

It is intended the Report of the Victorian 2014 Consultation in Health Literacy will be one of the inputs to the development of the Department of Health’s next Consumer Participation policy, which was evaluated in 2014.

It presents 16 recommendations for improving the health literacy of Victorians, and outlines principles, criteria and advice on best practice to guide future implementation actions.
