Each year until 2030, the Future Healthy Countdown brings the best available evidence and policy priorities together in one place in an annual supplement to the Medical Journal of Australia, crucially, the voices of young people are included to ensure they play a part in shaping their future. The Countdown 2030 is a collaboration between Deakin University, ARACY, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and VicHealth.

About

Each supplement dives deep into one of the seven domains of the Countdown (Healthy, Material basics, Learning and employment pathways, Participating, Positive sense of identity, Valued loved safe, and Environments and sustainable futures), spotlighting the best evidence for improving outcomes across this area while also tracking annual progress against key measures and targets for each domain of the Countdown.
