Committed to an equitable, accessible health system
An inclusive health, disability and care system
Australia has one of the world's leading healthcare systems and has taken big steps forward in provision of disability and social support services in recent years.
However, the nation still faces many challenges including rising chronic disease and mental ill-health, and the need to improve access to high quality care for all. Australia also increasingly faces new environmental health challenges, including those associated with climate change.
We help demonstrate the importance of improving access to healthcare for all ages, postcodes and cultures We also help support countries throughout our region improve their standard of healthcare. Better health and wellbeing outcomes are essential to creating better social and economic outcomes.
