Health and Wellbeing Queensland (HWQld) is the state’s prevention agency, committed to creating a healthier and fairer future for Queensland.
Our focus is to reduce the impacts of chronic disease especially for those who are experiencing poor health due to circumstances beyond their control.
We do that by working with government, communities and other sectors to change the environments people live in to help create a healthier and fairer Queensland.
We believe every Queenslander has the right to good health and we are driven to ensure better health is achieved across the entire Queensland population.
We are doing this by implementing a range of programs, policies and actions designed to achieve real and measurable improvements for the health of every Queenslander. This includes:
GenQ – a vision that sees children born today experiencing better health outcomes than the Queenslanders before them.
Making Healthy Happen 2032 – A strategy for preventing obesity in Queensland.
Gather + Grow – A strategy to address food security in remote Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island communities.
Clinical Prevention Framework – A systems approach to integrating and embedding prevention efforts into the health system.
By partnering with community, public and private enterprise, we are helping turn skills, will and resources into preventive health action and policy that enables Queenslanders to move more and make healthier food and drink choices. Together, we are making healthy happen!
