City of Kwinana Community Health and Wellbeing Plan - Community Survey

City of Kwinana Community Health and Wellbeing Plan - Community Survey

We are working on the new Community Health and Wellbeing Plan and want to hear from you! You could win one of ten $200 grocery card vouchers for sharing your thoughts!

This new Plan will replace the previous Public Health Plan and promote community health and wellbeing. Health promotion refers to empowering people to improve, or be in better control of their health. The new Plan will allow the City to comply with the requirements of the Public Health Act 2016, mandating all local governments in WA to have a local plan that outlines strategies to improve health and wellbeing in that community.

Through this survey, we hope to better understand the community’s health concerns and how we can help support the Kwinana community to be heathier.

This survey should only take five minutes of your time.

It is optional for you to provide your contact details at the end - This information will only be used to enter you in the prize draw.

For any additional information, please contact the Healthy and Active Lifestyle Project Officer on 08 9439 0271.
