Australian Health Promotion Association
The mission of the Australian Health Promotion Association is to provide knowledge, resources and perspectives needed to improve health promotion research and practice.
As the lead professional association for health promotion in Australia, AHPA provides opportunities for the professional development of members, including the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and information. It also provides opportunities for the exchange of knowledge in the field of health promotion through the annual national health promotion conference, and the publication of the Health Promotion Journal of Australia and other contemporary media. Its purpose is to develop and comment on existing and proposed health promotion policy and programs in the wider community, to advocate for contemporary directions and to support members in their endeavours to increase public awareness of the concept of health. AHPA makes recommendations with respect to the standards and practice of health promotion as well as the training of health promotion practitioners. AHPA also represents the interests of Australian health promotion practice when liaising with other organisations.
In 2000 the Association became a member of the international organisation - the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE). AHPA has a constitution and strategic plan which is accessible on the website. http://www.healthpromotion.org.au/
