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 at www.health.gov.au/using-our-websites/social-media

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.
Relief in times of crisis, care when it's needed most and commitment when others turn away. Red Cross is there for people in need, no matter who you are, no matter where you live.
We help tens of millions of people around the world each year and care for local communities in Australia and Asia Pacific.

We’ll always be there for Australia. Not just by giving blood, but through our clinical excellence, commitment to education and our ongoing investment in research and development. We’re a team of experts who deliver safe, high quality products time and time again. We work tirelessly to develop innovative solutions; whether it be for blood, organ matching, tissue typing or donated breast milk. We’re here to support all Australians — from the youngest to the most vulnerable —when they need us.
We’re united through the power of humanity to build a healthier nation.
What we do is only possible through the generous donations of almost half a million unpaid voluntary donors.
