There are no plans to merge the Health Advancement Service of the ACT Community and Health Service with the ACT Health Promotion Fund as their functions, while complementary, are different. The Health Advancement Service provides community health education, health consultancy and health resource materials. The Fund will be used to enhance health promotion activities, through providing brokerage services between sporting, recreation, arts and cultural organisations and health organisations and through direct funding support for health promotion programs. The ACT Health Promotion Fund Advisory Committee and Secretariat will participate in the development of ACT health promotion strategies, but will not develop health education and promotion materials, nor will they develop and implement programs.
The ACT Health Promotion Fund Secretariat and Advisory . Committee have established consultative mechanisms with the health promotion areas of the Service, including the Health Advancement Service, to ensure that there is no overlap or duplication of services. Health promotion areas of the Service may seek funding support. from the Health Promotion Fund for specific health promotion projects, in which case their applications will be treated in the same way as those from other health agencies.
