As of 30 June 2006 the National Public Health Partnership (NPHP) was replaced with the Australian Health Protection Committee (AHPC) and the Australian Population Health Development Principal Committee (APHDPC), two Principal Committees of AHMAC.
The NPHP was responsible for identifying and developing strategic and integrated responses to public health priorities in Australia. Current public health priorities of the NPHP include addressing issues of healthy weight, communicable disease control, environmental health, injury prevention,child public health, information development and workforce development and planning. The objectives for the NPHP are to identify and develop strategic and integrated responses to public health priorities to guide and support governments and service providers, establish two-way exchange with key stakeholders on the development of national public health priorities and strategies, develop better coordination and increased sustainability of public health strategies, and strengthen public health infrastructure and capacity nationally.
