7.3      Queensland – Health and Wellbeing Strategic Framework
Queensland Health’s Health and Wellbeing Strategic Framework 2017 to 2026 sets a prevention-
focused pathway for achieving improved health for all Queenslanders.it states that

        an important aim of any health system is to prevent disease and reduce illness so that
        people live long, healthy lives. Healthy behaviours such as not smoking, maintaining a
        healthy weight, being physically active and healthy food and drink choices reduce the risk
        factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers.
        Lifestyle-related chronic diseases are preventable.

Its goal is to increase the proportion of Queenslanders who adopt healthy behaviours and reduce
unhealthy behaviours.

In order to achieve this goal, the Department of Health will partner with other government
agencies, community, industry and academic sectors in:
     creating healthier places where people live, work, learn and play
     empowering people with the knowledge, positive attitudes, motivation and skills to live
       healthy lives.

The framework focuses on the key modifiable behaviours of:
