The National Action Plan for the Health of Children and Young People: 2020-2030 (the Action Plan) builds on Healthy, Safe and Thriving: National Strategic Framework for Child and Youth Health and outlines Australia’s national approach to improving health outcomes for all children and young people, particularly those at greatest risk of poor health.
The Action Plan aims to drive improvement in the health of all children and young people in Australia across the life course, noting challenges of disparity and inequity in health outcomes between individuals, areas, and different sections of the population.
The Action Plan is both a call to action and a tool for action - guiding collaborative and cohesive approaches to ensure that Australian children and young people are healthy, safe and thriving.
Page 19 of the Action Plan includes information on tackling mental health and risky behaviours.
