Public consultation closes 21 November.
The draft 2025 State Public Health Care Plan (2025 Plan) is a blueprint for action on the State’s public health priorities. It aims to effectively communicate to all audiences what public health is and provide a framework to those responsible, both directly and indirectly, in the development of actions which can improve public health outcomes.
The 2025 Plan has been co-developed in partnership with a diverse set of public health stakeholders in South Australia, following consultations and workshops during the first half of 2025.
Public consultation is open till the 21 November 2025 on the draft 2025 Plan. Refer to the Have YourSAy website on how to provide feedback.
