Healthy Australia

Healthy Australia is a charity that enables Australian children, families and communities to live healthier and safer lives through technological innovation, smarter policies and programs, knowledge sharing and activism. Human service policy decisions are made by governments in isolation of the context of the people the policy is designed to serve. The barrier between policy makers and community is creating poor outcomes and costing the Australian taxpayer. The current system fails the community. There is poor communication between governments and departments; there is little coordination between government, community and business sectors; spending is often duplicated, allocated for political gain or terminated before programs can deliver; and the impact of investment is rarely effective or even measured. The non-government health and social care economy is significant. An ageing population and the NDIS is estimated to increase the workforce in community services economy by 25%. So this economy is growing, and so is the burden on Australian’s taxes. Healthy Australia exists to reduce the health and social cost to the taxpayer by placing Australians at the centre of their support, leveraging technology to place Australians in control of their services; providing information and evidence to support decision making; all within a context of belonging and inclusion. Healthy Australia bridges the gap between policy decision makers, agencies and community to protect human rights; protect the right to self agency and identity; protect right to know; and achieve #1 Global ranking for Australia for health and well being. The health of Australians is inversely proportional to the cost to the government of services. Smarter programs, improved social inclusion and reduced tax burden will boost the Australian economy. A Healthy Australia is a Wealthy Australia.
