National Male Health Policy

The Government has developed a new National Male Health Policy, the first for Australia.

In this section:

• National Male Health Policy
• Developing a Men's Health Policy for Australia: Setting the scene
• National Men's Health Policy - Resource Kit
• National Male Health Policy Consultation Forums

The Policy provides a framework for improving the health of all males and achieving equal health outcomes for population groups of males at risk of poor health. It provides practical suggestions for action designed to guide directions into the new decade especially in areas where we know we can make a difference in improving the health of Australian males, and those with the poorest health. The National Male Health Policy - Building on the Strengths of Australian Males, has nine supporting documents providing in-depth analysis of some of the issues raised in the Policy. It also has some practical suggestions for males about what they can do to improve their own health, and some guiding principles that can be used when developing programs and policies affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males.
