Overview
This is the third publication in a series of biennial reports that provide a comprehensive picture of the health and wellbeing of Victorians. It has been developed to meet the requirements of Section 21(c) of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and covers the period to December 2009.
Over all, the report shows that Victorians generally enjoy good health compared with other Australians; however, it also reveals health issues and differentials in health outcome between areas and population groups.
This report expands on Your health 2005 and 2007, with a refreshed structure, incorporating new health themes and indicators that draw on information from a wide range of sources. As in the previous edition, there is information on the general health status of Victorians (for example, life expectancy and mortality) and the determinants of health (for example, smoking and physical activity).
This information will help inform policy and planning about areas of need, progress with existing initiatives and emerging issues in Victoria.
