Setting new directions for health and wellbeing
A Healthy Tasmania is the Government’s strategy to drive action on health and health inequity in Tasmania over the next 10 years.
It sets out a plan to better coordinate and integrate the work of organisations and government agencies that assist Tasmanians. It is about putting health and wellbeing at the forefront of our minds and making decisions that foster health and wellbeing so that we can support Tasmanians to live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
