Abstract

Increasing incidence of chronic disease and mental illness threatens to overwhelm Australia’s health budget in the coming decades, and cause significant disability and burden for millions of Australians and their families. Many of these conditions have their roots in the health attitudes and behaviours formed in early childhood. Health promotion in early childhood is therefore an essential strategy to improve population health.
