Public Health Practice in Australia offers a thorough introduction to the Australian public health system and its practices. It highlights common threads that underlie seemingly disparate activities, ideas and entities that comprise the organised effort' of public health practice. The emphasis is on securing and maintaining the conditions in society that enable people to live healthy and fulfilling lives. The authors examine the impact of social, economic, environmental and political factors on the health of individuals, communities and populations. Taking an applied, multidisciplinary approach, they outline the strategies and tools that public health practitioners use to improve health outcomes:
