SELF CARE: THE FOUNDATION FOR A HEALTHY AUSTRALIA The concept of Self Care lies at the heart of ASMI’s vision for a healthy Australia: the vision of a nation where individuals and families choose to maintain good physical and mental health using a range of strategies including regular exercise, healthy eating and the appropriate use of self- medication to treat and prevent illness.
There is growing evidence, including research sponsored by ASMI, to show that effective Self Care within a community can help to prevent disease, manage existing conditions and improve the quality of life and general health of the population.

As a result, the economic burden on government health and welfare bodies can be considerably reduced.
ASMI believes that the benefits of Self Care can be realised through the formation of strong partnerships between industry, government, consumers, health care providers and other stakeholders as well as through scientific and economic research.

We will continue to build our relationships and support the development of an evidence-based platform which will give Self Care a significant place in Australian health management.
