Healthy City Coordinator
BACKGROUND Healthy Cities and Counties Programme The Healthy Cities and Counties Programme is a Department of Health funded initiative delivered through local government. Its focus is on promoting lifelong wellbeing, preventing illness, creating supportive environments for health, and reducing health inequities. The programme emphasises the important role local authorities play in improving community wellbeing outcomes. The programme supports a whole-of-local-government approach. It demonstrates how co-ordinated action across the wider determinants of health – such as housing, environment, transport, and community services – can improve wellbeing and contribute to broader development and policy objectives. Aligning health and wellbeing activity with other local government initiatives that share similar goals strengthens collaboration and ensures a more coherent approach to community wellbeing.
