What is National Prevention Week?

We’ve teamed up with some of Australia’s most inspiring women – Sally Obermeder, Melissa Doyle, Dr Joanna McMillan, Helen Dalley and Melinda Gainsford-Taylor - to help spread the health causes closest to their hearts and the simple changes they’d like to see every Australian make.

This year, an estimated 15,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Around 280 people a day develop diabetes. More than three million adults have high cholesterol. And heart disease remains the biggest killer.

But despite all this, the aim of NPW is to highlight that the majority of these conditions can be reversed (or prevented altogether) with small lifestyle changes.

Those changes can be as small as giving up your daily 3pm soft drink, to eating breakfast, swapping white rice for brown or a 30 minute walk every morning.


When does National Prevention Week start?

NPW runs from April 7-13.
