Department of Health
The Albanese Government is developing Australia’s first National Health and Climate Strategy, to ensure the nation’s health system can meet the needs of Australians in the face of a changing climate.
The Strategy will establish a three-year plan of action to better prepare for the health challenges presented by climate change, including more frequent and severe weather events, extreme temperatures, and poor air quality.
The Strategy will identify priority areas for action to reduce carbon emissions in the health and aged care sectors, as well as managing the impacts of climate change to ensure all Australians continue to access good quality health and aged care.
