💡Investing in health promotion is a smart strategy.
Australia spends less than 2% of all health spending on prevention. We call on all Australian governments to commit at least 5% of the health budget to health promotion & illness prevention.

Queensland Walks Month is in August, and that's just a week away! 😍
President Angela Wright has a message for you.
Take it away Angela...
