About Public Health Advocacy Institute of WA
Welcome to the Public Health Advocacy Institute of WA (PHAIWA) located in Bentley, Western Australia. Our institution is dedicated to influencing, building, promoting, and supporting advocacy for public health priorities. We strive to make a positive impact through innovation in education, applied research, engagement, and practice.
Established in 2008, under the esteemed leadership of Emeritus Professor Mike Daube AO, PHAIWA is an independent public health voice based within Curtin University. We are proud to be supported by a range of funding partners who share our vision for a healthier Australia.
At PHAIWA, we offer a diverse range of services to support our mission. Whether you need advice on public health strategies, assistance with advocacy-related research and projects, or help in building the workforce and community capacity for effective advocacy, we are here to help.
We are particularly committed to addressing the health disparities faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, who experience significantly poorer health outcomes and lower life expectancy compared to other Australians. Additionally, we recognize the pressing issue of obesity in Australia, with one-quarter of children and adolescents being overweight or obese, and nearly two-thirds of adults falling into the same category. As childhood is a critical period for development and lifelong health behaviors, it is crucial to prioritize interventions and support for healthier lifestyles.
If you are involved in public health advocacy, it is vital to understand your opponents and the tactics they employ to hinder progress. PHAIWA provides valuable insights and resources to help navigate these challenges and advance public health initiatives.
We also acknowledge the important role of local governments in promoting community well-being. They serve as vital and multi-functional organizations within local communities. PHAIWA recognizes the significance of collaborating with local governments to identify priority areas for investments and commitments that will ensure the health and well-being of all Australians.
Join us at our upcoming Public Health Advocacy Symposium, where we will be discussing and confronting health inequities. We are also excited to announce the launch of our latest hand and face washing video by the #Endingtrachoma team, contributing to the fight against this preventable eye disease.
We extend a warm welcome to our new PHAIWA Director, Associate Professor Christina Pollard, who brings a wealth of expertise and passion to our organization.
