Self-care could help prevent chronic illness
Individuals being supported to take greater responsibility for managing their own health could hold the key to tackling the rise of chronic illness.
Australia's Health Tracker series measures national progress on a range of health issues, including chronic disease, oral health, and mental health in Australian children and adults. These trackers are used by a range of policy-makers to inform decision-making at local, state and national level.
Our work is guided by preventive health principles developed by the Australian Health Policy Collaboration, and endorsed by more than 50 of Australia’s leading health organisations.
