A partnership approach was achieved for the 2017-2021 planning cycle resulting in Swan Hill District Health contributing to the development of the Swan Hill Rural City Council Public Health & Wellbeing Plan, as a fully integrated plan. The plan is a collaborative result of work undertaken by the SMPCP Swan Hill Health and Wellbeing Partnership, bringing together over 9 local agencies to develop and implement a range of activities under three priority areas:
- Improving mental health
- Healthier eating and active living
- Reducing family violence.
Physical activity options are available for all ages within our local area, see guides below:
- Physical activity options for children 0-5yrs
- Physical activity options for children 5-12yrs
- Physical activity options for adults
