State of Preventive Health 2013 aims to give Australians a comprehensive overview of the health challenges facing Australians, particularly in relation to chronic disease, and the associated risk factors including tobacco consumption, harmful alcohol use and obesity. This Report meets the requirements under the Australian National Preventive Health Agency Act 2010 to ‘every 2 years, starting in 2013, publish a report on the state of preventive health in Australia’. It is our hope that this Report will highlight the burden of chronic disease across Australia and increase community awareness and understanding of Australia’s preventive and health promotion efforts. I commend the report to you, and through you, to the people of Australia.

Social media is constantly evolving, with platforms being adopted by many sport stakeholders including sport governing bodies, leagues, teams, sporting events, fans, coaches, managers, and athletes. For athletes, social media have provided new avenues to share personal and professional news, manage their personal image and brand, and develop deeper interactions with fans. However, since the rise of social media, sport stakeholders have debated the extent of athlete social media use at major sport events. The purpose of this research was threefold: (1) to investigate why athletes use social media, the gratifications they receive, and the challenges they experience during a major sport event, (2) explore the elements of social media athletes perceive to be distracting, the practices they undertake to address distractions, and the support they receive from sport organisations, and (3) to examine how national sport organisations manage athlete social media use and their perceptions of social media as a distraction.

  • Health, Education and Sport Cross-Sector Collaboration on Physical Activity
    PRE-BUDGET SUBMISSION TO TREASURY For consideration for the 2018-19 Federal Budget Health, Education and Sport Cross-sector Collaboration on Physical Activity presenting Cost effective measures to reduce the health burden of Physical Inactivity NEED NEW COVER PIC Leveraging cross-sector collaboration from Education, Health and Sport Proudly supported by: Canberra, December 2017 Cost effective measures to reduce the health burden of Physical Inactivity. Leveraging cross-sector collaboration from Education, Health and Sport INTRODUCTION: The Health, Education, Sport Physical Activity Collaboration welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Australian Government’s consideration of priorities and measures for inclusion in the 2018-19 Federal Budget. KEY FACTS Less than 20% of children 5-17 years and only 43% of adults lead lives that are sufficiently active to meet the Australian Government’s National Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines (NPASBG). Over 65% of Australians over 15 years are obese or overweight Over 14,000 deaths per year are attributed to Physical Inactivity Over 5 million Australians are living with cardiovascular disease or diabetes Physical Inactivity costs the health budget over $1.5b annually 25% of cardiovascular disease can be attributed to Physical Inactivity This dire situation has long existed and the impacts are getting worse – the time for Action is now! This proposal is built upon the collaboration of over 80 national organisations from across Health, Education and Sport sectors who have worked together over the past 4 years. The priorities proposed have been analysed and ranked by the participating organisations on the basis of maximising the impact, effectiveness and value for money.

  • Cross-Sector Collaboration Response to the National Sports Plan 31.7.17
    NATIONAL SPORTS PLAN – PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUBMISSION – July 2017 Response by Confederation of Australian Sport for the Health, Education and Sport Physical Activity Collaboration. Introduction: The initiative of Minister for Health and Sport, Greg Hunt to establish a National Sports Plan is applauded and the organisations of the Health, Education, Sport Physical Activity Collaboration welcome the opportunity to contribute to the process. The Australian Sports Commission, the Department of Health and the Minister’s Office has previously been provided with the documentation and detailed briefings of work undertaken on many of the issues canvassed by this questionnaire. These entities have also been briefed on the ongoing work to build cross-sector collaboration across Health, Education and Sport over the past 3- 4 years. Harnessing the goodwill generated across national organisations from the Health, Education and Sport sectors should be a major objective of the National Sports Plan. There is already a solid understanding and appreciation of the major issues and of the perspectives of the kindred organisations that have been involved in discussions over recent years. This goodwill and understanding should be fostered and harnessed to ensure that progress can be made efficiently without the existing momentum being lost. We believe that this opportunity and goodwill should be maximised by a complimentary cross- portfolio approach by Government rather than placing a vital national preventative health initiative under only one portfolio ‘Sport’ – which, with the greatest respect and deference, is arguably the least resourced and least influential of the three sectors within the highest levels of Government. Steps should be taken to ensure a collaborative approach between the Australian Government departments responsible for Health, Education and Sport and similarly a cross-departmental approach at State/Territory Government level is fostered.
