Established in 1987 by the World Health Organisation, Healthy Cities Australia is a ‘glocal’ organisation working to create healthy environments and enabling healthy choices for the people of the Illawarra and Shoalhaven and beyond.
We are dedicated to addressing underlying social, economic and environmental causes of health inequality and working in partnership with local government, health care providers and other community organisations to deliver meaningful health and wellbeing outcomes for our community.
To accomplish this, we help create the infrastructure of a healthy community and sustain positive behaviour change. We design, implement and evaluate evidence-based and cost-effective programs for a range of issues and audiences.
