The road to good health

Australian women lead busy lives, often juggling a variety of responsibilities that may include children, ageing parents, domestic duties, work outside the home and community involvement.

The health of our families is a big priority, as is our own physical and mental health.

We offer some essential advice to share with your friends, family and colleagues.

Prepare for health at each life stage

Be prepared for the changes that will occur throughout the decades. Protect your physical and mental wellbeing by lifestyle changes; begin early and continue throughout life.

Remember that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing –not merely the absence of disease.
