About this role
You'll be joining the largest public health system in Australia and contribute to a world-class health system in NSW.
The Centre for Population Health (CPH) aims to promote health and prevent morbidity and mortality caused by modifiable risk factors. The CPH portfolio encompasses blood borne viruses, sexual health, tobacco and obesity. The strategies used to address these issues include statewide policy and planning, legislation and regulation, program development, resource allocation, performance monitoring, research and evaluation.
The CPH works closely with service provider organisations such as Local Health Districts (LHDs) to manage and support the local delivery of agreed policies, programs and services across the state. Programs and services funded by the CPH are delivered in government, non-government, community and clinical settings.
The CPH approach is characterised by a focus on evidence-informed programmatic and system-level interventions that improve health, reduce health inequity, create healthy environments, promote community action, enable personal health-seeking and recognise the social determinants of good health.
Joining the Early Childhood and Schools team is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to child health at a population level. A heathy diet and being active is associated with better child health, education and wellbeing outcomes. NSW Health has successfully delivered evidence-based healthy eating and active living programs in early childhood and school settings for over 15 years. In this role, you will work closely with the early childhood and school sectors to modernise and continuously improve these programs to ensure that the implementation approach remains effective, feasible and acceptable. The Project Officer is responsible for managing projects related to the delivery of these programs.
