Healthy Tasmania

Healthy Tasmania We provide useful and reliable information about how to be healthy and well in Tasmania. Is misleading, deceptive, false, defamatory or libellous
4. b.

The Minister for Health has launched the Healthy Tasmania Five Year Strategic Plan in July 2016 to give Tasmanians and their communities the information and tools they need to make positive and healthy changes to their lives. Getting a good start to life in developing healthy habits early is critical for a healthy adulthood and healthy ageing. Keeping ourselves healthier for longer and managing our risk of chronic disease is an integral part of living happy, productive and fulfilled lives. The plan aims to help people become more aware, interested, engaged and more in control of their own health and wellbeing. It fosters community connectedness by bringing people together to support each other toward better health. TERMS OF USE
