Healthy Places
Operated by Australian Public Interest Alliance Incorporated
(ABN 33 842 796 620)
Overview
Health and wellbeing are shaped not only by individual choices but also by the environments in which people live, work, learn, and spend time. The concept of “healthy places” describes how physical, social, and environmental settings are associated with population health and wellbeing.
This service provides clear, evidence-informed information about healthy places, the factors that influence them, and their links to health outcomes. It does not provide professional planning, legal, or healthcare advice, but it helps Australians understand how environments affect wellbeing.
Who this information is for
This service is intended for Australians seeking general information about healthy environments, including individuals, families, community groups, policymakers, and educators.
Important health and safety information
Healthy places are discussed in terms of patterns and associations at the community level, not guarantees of health outcomes for individuals. For specific planning, healthcare, or legal advice, consult qualified professionals.
