Calendar 2022
How should I use this?
A health and wellbeing calendar can be a helpful tool when planning for working in health promoting ways. Use this type of calendar as a supporting resource for your local community or service health promotion planning.
When you have a clear idea of priorities, the calendar can help you plan when you begin a program or host an event.
Remember that organising activities and programs often takes more time than expected. Consider how much time and the resources you have available before committing to regular events.
What's included?
The calendar includes a selection of international, national and state awareness campaigns. These campaigns align with the Working in Health Promoting Ways Framework, principles of practice, priority areas and health literacy. Visit the relevant health and wellbeing websites listed in the calendar for accurate and up to date information.
This year the calendar has been designed using health literacy principles.
