Healthy Active by Design - a tool for advocating for healthy hearts

The Heart Foundation advocates for built environments that promote and support heart health, healthy eating, active living and physical activity. We particularly focus on getting more people walking more often, through policies, programs and partnerships.

We work across the states and territories to build key federal, state and local government relationships and to be proactive in advocating for change.

We work in partnerships and coalitions with industry, government, non-government and academic stakeholders in order to strengthen and present a consistent and evidence-based message.

The Heart Foundation advocacy team works with our active living experts, our heart health teams, research, media and marketing to ensure as many people as possible understand and have access to our Healthy Active by Design information.

Please see the Heart Foundation website for more information and for full access to our advocacy submissions - https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/advocacy

We encourage you to use the Healthy Active by Design tools, evidence and case studies to creating positive change and directly influence the creation of healthy cities, and healthy planning within our states and territories.

We need you to be advocates too.
