Our Health and Wellbeing Plan is designed to empower the Darebin community to be healthy, strong, and resilient. It connects residents to opportunities and strives for health equity for all, ensuring everyone has the chance to thrive.
This plan integrates with the broader Council Plan 2025-29, focusing on collaborative delivery of health and wellbeing initiatives. It is informed by extensive community consultation and local data analysis to address health inequalities within Darebin.
Residents can expect targeted actions that support both physical and mental health, guided by the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. The plan reflects the community's needs and priorities, aiming to create a supportive environment for all ages.
The Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan (MPHWP) outlines specific strategies to improve public health outcomes. It is developed through a thorough understanding of local health data and community feedback.
Key components include promoting mental health, enhancing physical activity opportunities, and addressing social determinants of health. The plan also supports vulnerable groups and fosters community connections to build resilience.
The plan is implemented across the Darebin municipality, impacting various community settings including parks, libraries, community centers, and health services.
Residents can access resources and participate in programs through Darebin Council's facilities and online platforms. The council office is located at 274 Gower Street, Preston, VIC 3072.
The Health and Wellbeing Plan is a legislative requirement under the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. It is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect emerging community needs and health trends.
Community members are encouraged to stay informed and involved through council consultations and feedback opportunities. The plan supports equitable health outcomes for all residents, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
There is no cost to access information or participate in the community health and wellbeing initiatives outlined in the plan. Programs and services may have separate booking requirements, which are communicated through Darebin Council channels.
