Job Opportunity Potential
Health promotion is focused on developing policy, programs and strategies that will foster and encourage healthy, equitable and sustainable environments and communities. To achieve this, a health promotion practitioner is required to work with a diverse range of individuals, community groups and representatives. In addition to developing population and community programs, interventions can also be implemented in specific settings such as schools, workplaces and hospitals. Currently, a key focus is the development of effective programs that address a number of national and state health priority areas including physical activity, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, mental health promotion, injury prevention and skin cancer prevention. An integral component to being an effective health promotion practitioner is to be involved in the facilitation and development of effective partnerships with government and non-government agencies to collaboratively address health issues and work towards positive health outcomes.
Some of the tasks a health promotion practitioner may perform include:
- planning, implementing and evaluating health promotion programs
- informing and working collaboratively with other health professionals on population health issues
- designing, developing and implementing public information campaigns using radio, television, newspapers, pamphlets, posters and websites.
