Overview

Community and Women’s Health Agencies receive funding from Department of Health for a range of programs. Health promotion is one of the activities performed within each of the following programs:

  • Community Health
  • Women’s Health
  • Family Planning
  • Innovative Health Services for Homeless Youth
  • Family and Reproductive Rights Education Program (FARREP)
  • Suicide Prevention

The following specialist state-wide agencies also receive health promotion funding through Community and Women's Health Programs:

  • Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture Inc;
  • International Diabetes Institute;
  • Centre for Adolescent Health; and
  • Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health

The above statewide agencies provide a mix of primary health and health promotion services relevant to their particular contexts.

Integrated health promotion reporting and planning

These guidelines have been developed by the Department of Health to support organisations funded for Integrated Health Promotion in the development of a three year IHP plan for 2009-2012 and in the implementation of new planning and reporting requirements. The guidelines form part of the planning and reporting requirements detailed in the Primary Health Branch, Funded Organisation Requirements 2009-2012

2009-2012 planning and reporting requirements

The Integrated Health Promotion Kit is highly recommended for organisations involved in planning, implementing and evaluating integrated health promotion programs and activities.
