Conclusion Throughout the 2021/22 financial year the Health Promotion team were committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our community. We demonstrated our dedication to this goal by successfully delivering core programs and services as well as making a significant contribution to the COVID-19 public health response. I’d like to thank all staff for their commitment to taking on new roles and challenges with such enthusiasm and flexibility during this time. Our recent integration with the Priority Populations Unit will no doubt allow us to deliver even stronger outcomes for our communities in the years ahead. We look forward to exploring opportunities to collaborate with you and your teams in the future. Keeping community safe during COVID-19 “The Public Health Unit’s COVID-19 response saw teams from a myriad of different fields and backgrounds come together in a huge effort to ensure the response to COVID-19 outbreaks was community-focused, evidence- based, culturally appropriate and timely. Our Health Promotion colleagues made up a significant portion of our surge staff and they quickly learnt new skills of investigating COVID-19 cases, and carrying out contact tracing and venue assessments, in order to minimise community transmission of COVID-19. They brought with them knowledge, skills, enthusiasm and a passion for improving the health of the community and embraced the many challenges of the response.”
