Live Longer! Community health action pack: a practical guide to health promotion planning with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (2011)

Description

This Community health action pack can be used by anyone who wants to run a health promotion project to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' health and wellbeing.

This may include:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and community workers
• health professionals
• Elders, community leaders and community organisations.

The pack is designed to be flexible so that communities and organisations can use it to suit their own needs. It includes templates, examples, checklists and tips to help with planning a health promotion project.

The pack has been developed as part of the Local community campaigns to promote better Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health program, a measure under the Australian Government's Indigenous chronic disease package. However, it is not limited to those taking part in the Local community campaigns program and has been designed with broad use in mind.
