Шаблон:Infobox government agency

Health and Wellbeing Queensland is a statutory agency in Queensland, Australia, responsible for health promotion in the state. HWQ is broadly part of the Queensland Health, the state's public health system, and is part of the Queensland Government. Formed on 1 July 2019 through the Health and Wellbeing Queensland Act 2019, the agency has the objective of improving the health of all Queenslanders through reducing the burden of chronic diseases and health inequality.[1] Health and Wellbeing Queensland does not provide clinical services to Queenslanders directly, but instead funds health initiatives and programs and helps guide health policy development.

Programs and initiatives

Health and Wellbeing Queensland runs or supports several programs aimed at improving the health of Queenslanders. Broadly, these programs are:

  • Life Education - health promotion and education to school students.[2]
  • Good Sports Healthy Eating - improving the nutrition of school sports.[3]
  • Heart Foundation Walking - volunteer-run walking groups.[4]
  • Jamie's Ministry of Food - food and nutrition literacy and skills courses for Queenslanders in partnership with The Good Foundation.[5]
  • 10,000 Steps - promoting physical activity and achieving the recommended 10,000 steps per day.[6]
  • Get Healthy Service - up to 13 free personalised health coaching sessions for all Queenslanders.[7]
  • Healthy Tuckshop Support - promoting improved nutrition in school tuckshops.[8]
  • Deadly Choices Healthy Lifestyle Program - promotion within Indigenous Australian communities for increased health care usage, healthier eating, and increased physical exercise.[9]
  • QCWA Country Kitchens - food and nutrition programs in regional and remote Queensland.[10]

Boost your Healthy

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, Health and Wellbeing Queensland launched the Boost your Healthy initiative. The initiative, joined by the social media tag #BootCampQld, aims to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and improve wellbeing of Queenslanders during lockdowns and restrictions. As part of this initiative, the agency partnered with the Queensland Country Women's Association (QCWA) to provide healthy cooking challenges to participants.[11] The agency also joined 10,000 Steps, the Australian health promotion organisation of CQUniversity, in creating a collective 1 billion steps goal for Queenslanders during lockdown. Over 32 days, 5,874 Queenslanders from 320 postcodes logged 1.05 billion steps.[12]

Funding

Funding for Health and Wellbeing Queensland comes directly through Queensland Health, who receives departmental funding from the Queensland Government.[13]

Between 2020 and 2024, the Queensland Budget will also provide Шаблон:AUD158.6 million in funding to establish the agency, Шаблон:AUD133.4 million of which is from appropriations within Queensland Health. The remaining funding from the Queensland Government is to establish and operate the Deadly Choices Health Lifestyle Program, which will attract Шаблон:AUD8.6 million in funding to the agency every year.[13]
