Australia’s health system is world class, supporting universal and affordable access to high quality medical, pharmaceutical and hospital services, while helping people to stay healthy through health promotion and disease prevention activities.

The Department of Health has a diverse set of responsibilities, but throughout there is a common purpose, which is reflected in our Vision statement: Better health and wellbeing for all Australians.

The Department uses social media to share links and information about health policies and programs. Information about the Department's guidelines and moderation of social media accounts can be found on our community guidelines page.

We aim to achieve our Vision through strengthening evidence-based policy advising, improving programme management, research, regulation and partnerships with other government agencies, consumers and stakeholders. 

We deliver on our vision through our people. One of our strengths is our proud culture of teams working together to get things done swiftly, collegiality and professionally. ‘Our way’ means: 
• Leaders being clear on their expectations on ‘how’ we do business 
• Allowing people to deliver high quality work in tight timeframes by sharing information and expectations upfront 
• Supporting each other to learn and use new skills to build our capability 
• Identifying and managing risks strategically while also being innovative 
• Expecting high quality professional performance from each other 
• Looking outside the Department’s own viewpoint to work with the community and listen to their views.
