Overview

The Live longer! campaign is a national program to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to 'Get active, eat good tucker, live longer!' The Australian Government provides funding for Local community campaigns to promote better Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, as part of the Indigenous Chronic Disease Package. In addition to the grants program, a range of national activities for the Live longer! campaign support the aims of the Local community campaigns objectives. These national activities include healthy community days and the development of the Community health action pack. The Live longer! website has been developed to share information and stories about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander chronic disease health promotion activities and events.
