Future direction of PCP Integrated Health Promotion Planning. Pdf version of
the presentation attached to email.
PCPs will be required to align their health promotion plans with Municipal Public
Health and Wellbeing Plans by October 2013 and will be guided by the Victorian
Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2011-2015.
Rather than being a health promotion plan, the Victorian Public Health and
Wellbeing Plan 2011 – 2015 covers the breadth of the Public Health and
Wellbeing Act (which outlines the role of local government) and includes
evidence-based preventative interventions for improved outcomes:

Included in Tim’s presentation was data on a French ‘EPODE’ program that has
been successful in reducing obesity rates. More information at:
