2. The Primary Prevention Plan will outline SA Health's commitment to, and plan for, primary prevention action across South Australia.

The Primary Prevention Plan sets out the framework to eliminate or reduce factors that cause poor health and promote factors that are protective of good health for the population as a whole and for groups at risk.

The SA Health Primary Prevention Plan will outline our directions within the context of the national focus on prevention through the COAG National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health and taking into account State-based initiatives, such as the Obesity Prevention and Lifestyle Program (OPAL) and the whole of Government Health in All Policies work.
