The co-chairs of the Implementation Plan Advisory Group, have created this report card on progress during the first three years of the Implementation Plan for the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan 2013–2023.

In 2017–18, an estimated $185.4 billion was spent on health goods and services in Australia. This equates to an average of approximately $7,485 per person and represents 10% of overall economic activity for this period.

This report showcases where National Health Service (NHS) organisations are already implementing anchor practices, and outlines how decision makers across the health care system can maximise the contribution the NHS makes to the social, economic and environmental conditions that shape good health.

This health plan charts the way forward for Australia over the next 3 and 10 years in the key areas of mental health, primary care, hospitals, preventive health and medical research.
