"The strategy will provide a blueprint for tackling the burden of chronic disease currently caused by obesity, tobacco, and excessive consumption of alcohol.  It will be directed at primary prevention and will address all relevant arms of policy and all available points of leverage, in both the health and non-health sectors, in formulating its recommendations."
 

"The taskforce will also:
1. support the further development of the evidence base on Preventive health, to inform what works and what doesn’t;
2. provide advice for policy makers on what strategies work best at a population level, and on the best buys for government investment in Primary Prevention;
3. provide advice on the most effective strategies for targeting prevention in high risk sub-population including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people living in rural and remote locations; and
6. support the development of inter governmental and public-private partnerships on Preventive health."
