New South Wales Election 2023
Exercise for good health and a strong economy
ESSA is calling on candidates for the 2023 New South Wales Election to support these five policy priorities to ensure that people in New South Wales are provided with better access to exercise services to support good health outcomes and a strong economy:
- Improve access to exercise physiology for injured workers with chronic and complex injuries, including psychological injuries
- Increase access to exercise physiology for people with mental health conditions, particularly people living in rural and remote communities
- Expand access to exercise physiology for people with cancer
- Improve access to exercise physiology for people with diabetes
- Increase preventive health investment to 5% of total annual health expenditure, including physical activity
The five priorities listed above all provide significant opportunities for the next New South Wales Government to invest in and embed prevention, early intervention, and the treatment of chronic conditions and mental health in the health system for people to lead healthy and active lives.
