Australia 2020 Summit - Initial Report

The Initial Report from the 2020 Summit to the Prime Minister, sets out the key results of discussion by 1000 Australians over the weekend of 19 and 20 April in Canberra.

The Report includes results across the 10 streams of the Summit, including ambitions, priority themes and top ideas from each stream.

A more detailed, final report of the Summit to the Prime Minister will be prepared next month and will be available on the web site.

Stream - A Long-term National Health Strategy

  • Create a national preventative health agency. This independent health body would be funded by taxes on products with high social cost, e.g. alcohol, cigarettes and junk food (like a national version of VicHealth). The body would commission research, design interventions based on evidence, develop and deliver preventative health policy, and implement marketing and public health campaigns.
