Health Promotion

Current initiatives

  • Helping early years services, schools and workplaces to become health promoting settings through the Victorian Government’s Achievement Program
  • Promoting accessible healthy food through our Healthy Catering Handbook, Healthy Butchers Initiative and Healthy BBQ Kit
  • Creating local networks and supporting school canteens, pool kiosks and long day care services to increase the numbers of healthy menu options
  • Promoting oral health in early years services through implementing the Smiles 4 Miles program in partnership with the SCHS Dental Program
  • Increasing physical activity levels in the community through our annual 10,000 Steps Challenge and working with schools to embed active transport as part of every day practice
  • Working with local primary and secondary schools to support the implementation of school breakfast programs through the Mildura Region School Breakfast Partnership

Achievement Program

As a workplace we are recognised for Health Eating (2013), Physical Activity and Movement (2020) and Mental Health and Well-being (2021). One of the biggest changes to our organisation has been our staff health and well-being procedure which is a one-stop shop for all staff to access all resources and opportunities related to their own health and well-being.  The Achievement Program is a quality improvement framework coordinated by the Cancer Council Victoria and is based on World Health Organization (WHO)’s best practice standards.  To learn more visit: https://www.achievementprogram.health.vic.gov.au/workplaces
 

Our Service

Our skilled health promotion workforce, together with local partnerships, encourage healthy eating and physical activity; to reduce obesity, smoking and harmful alcohol use. We aim to create long-term change and improve the health of local people. We do this through working together to make healthy living the easy choice, wherever someone is within our community: at home, at work, at school, at the shops or in the park.

Eligibility

Health Promotion covers the entire Mildura Rural City Council municipality, including outlying areas such as Lake Cullulleraine, Ouyen and Murrayville.
