Wellbeing SA has commissioned the Australian Health Promotion Association to undertake an evidence-informed scoping review on the health promotion workforce.
Wellbeing SA is the state government agency leading a renewed focus on prevention and supporting the physical, mental and social wellbeing of all South Australians. The goal of this project is to understand best practice approaches that support the development of a robust and sustainable health promotion workforce. This will inform the creation of a Health Promotion Workforce Development Strategy aimed at reinvigorating the health promotion profession in South Australia.
Michele Herriot and Kristy Schirmer, long time AHPA members, have been contracted to undertake this work. A literature review is underway and key stakeholders will be consulted shortly. If you have any information on health promotion workforce planning and development strategies and approaches, across Australia in particular, Michele and Kristy would love to hear from you via This email address is being protected from spambots.
