The National Public Health Partnership has defined public health as 'the organised response by society to protect and promote health, and to prevent illness, injury and disability.' (National Public Health Partnership 2000 National Public Health Partnership Secretariat, Melbourne.)
The National Public Health Partnership (NPHP) was established in 1996 as a formal structure for the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments to work together to develop a joint Australian intergovernmental agenda for public health. The NPHP Website provides information on the partnership as well the priority areas of work. There is an extensive news area containing recent news and events, reports and newsletters.

The National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (NCEPH)
At the Australian National University is a world-class research establishment
with a broad approach to health issues. NCEPH's mission is to contribute to
better health, nationally and internationally, through research and workforce-training
contributions to epidemiology and other population health disciplines, and
to public health policy and practice. The Centre's main interest is epidemiological
research into the patterns and causes of ill health. A broad, multidisciplinary
approach is taken, encompassing the social, behavioural, environmental and
genetic influences on health. The key to NCEPH's success in research is its
interdisciplinary character and its emphasis upon quality - often achieved
via research collaboration.
This website contains information on research and training programs being
conducted at NCEPH. Lists of staff publications are included (some available
for downloading), as well as notifications of seminars, short courses and
other events.
