Seminars: Addressing health inequalities
Date published: 2009-10-01 14:27:02
Health inequalities good practice workshop, 12:30-1pm
Principles of good practice outlined in Fairer Health include planning for impact, a multi-sector approach, community-owned practice and ways to rethink inclusion that connect to the wider causes of health. This workshop provides an overview of what the principles mean in a practical sense and includes examples of how the concepts can be incorporated into health promotion work. Useful articles and resources will be disseminated, including information about the good practice health inequalities training that is available through VicHealth.
Presenter: Clodagh Walsh, Principal Policy Analyst, Social Policy Branch
Lead Agency: Department of Health (formerly Department of Human Services)
Transport connections: Northern Mallee Primary Care Partnership, 1-1:30pm
Northern Mallee Transport Connections is the largest of the 32 projects currently active in rural and regional Victoria. The outer lying areas are disadvantaged by irregular or non-existent transport to other towns. Access to specialist services is provided by car pooling, infrequent HACC vehicles if the person is eligible or affected by infrequent and badly timed buses which necessitate an overnight stay.
