About Fairer Health Facts 2009

"The aim of reducing inequalities in health is already integral to Victorian health and human services programs.

Health is a necessary resource for living. With good health people are capable of growing, learning, sharing and enjoying life – they can participate fully in society and the economy. Inequalities (or avoidable and unfair differences) in health provide a fundamental measure of the fairness of a society.

The 15 summary indicators presented in this report together provide a brief but comprehensive picture of fair health in Victoria."
