NEPHU Population Health Catchment Planning - Priority Areas Recommendations Report
The North Eastern Public Health Unit (NEPHU) is required by the Department of Health to develop a Population Health Catchment Plan by June 2023. This plan will outline priorities for place-based primary and secondary prevention activity focused on preventable chronic disease and modifiable risk factors.
As part of this process, NEPHU must identify two population health priorities for targeted collective effort in FY 22-23.
NEPHU has conducted a collaborative, multi-sectoral process to inform the development of its catchment plan and selection of two priority areas for collective action - summaries of these activities and related reports can be found on the NEPHU Resources - Plan page of this website.
The culmination of this work was the identification of the top four key priority areas to be considered for further refinement to two. These were:
- Improving sexual and reproductive health
- Increasing active living
- Increasing healthy eating
- Reducing harm from alcohol and drug use.
This Priority Area Recommendations Report draws upon the evidence base generated via previous activity and documents the rationale and assessment criteria applied to generate the recommendation of the two priority areas for collective action:
- Improving sexual and reproductive health
- Increasing healthy eating.
