Abstract

Public health advocacy is a fundamental part of public health and health promotion practice. However, gaps exist in the provision of public health advocacy knowledge and skill acquisition both in the tertiary environment and within ongoing professional development programmes. The Goulburn Valley Public Health Unit partnered with the Public Health Advocacy Institute to build the skills of 49 public health and promotion professionals in their regions, to enable them to lead an advocacy project that aimed to promote state-wide initiatives. This involved a series of face-to-face skills-based public health advocacy workshops and post workshop e-mentoring. Results included the creation of locally relevant public health advocacy projects and a community of practice.
