Action for Equity 2024-2030 is a regional sexual and reproductive health strategy provides a best practice model for effective, collaborative, strengths-based and place-based work to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes.
Developed and implemented by the Action for Equity partnership, the strategy leads collective, coordinated and evidence-based action, so that all people in the west experience optimal sexual and reproductive health, without exception.
Melbourne’s west is one of Victoria’s most vibrant and diverse regions. It is also home to many groups and communities that experience poorer sexual and reproductive health outcomes compared to the population as a whole. Coordinated action focusing on equity is required to improve the sexual and reproductive health status of Melbourne’s west while leaving no one behind.
Action for Equity incorporates primary prevention initiatives across a range of settings and sectors that work to redress the social determinants of sexual and reproductive health inequities to achieve health equity.
The plan is supported by a collaborative partnership of 14 organisations, including women’s and community health services, local and state government, multicultural health organisations, LBTIQA+ specialist organisations and a primary health network. The plan is led by GenWest.
