CHF Members Policy Forum 2022

Everything you wanted to know about wellbeing budgets but haven't had time to ask.

There is growing international interest in how countries measure progress beyond economic growth, with a greater focus on citizens’ wellbeing and quality of life.

Australia is adopting this trend and the October Federal Budget 2022-23 included a statement on Measuring What Matters, setting the foundation for a conversation about how to measure what matters to Australians.   

For those countries which have developed wellbeing frameworks, the policy areas covered include income, employment, education, environment, personal safety and health.  These are all the social determinants of health and CHF has been actively involved in policy discussions around each of these issues.

This year’s CHF Members’ Policy Forum will take a deep dive into this topic and examine which wellbeing indicators could be considered by Treasury as it consults on this issue.
We expect our forum discussion will help CHF and its members shape their submissions as we have a diverse group of speakers (see below) who are guaranteed to stimulate your thinking.
