Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women's health movement shocked and scandalised when it burst into Australian politics in the early 1970s. It cast the light of day onto taboo subjects such as sexual assault, abortion and domestic violence, provoking outrage and condemnation. Some of the services women created for themselves were subjected to police raids; sex education material was branded 'indecent'. Moreover, women dared to criticise revered institutions, such as the medical system. Yet for all its perceived radicalism, the movement was part of a much broader and relatively conventional international health reform push, which included the 'new' public health movement, the community health centre movement and, in Australia, the Aboriginal health movement, all of which were critical of the way medical systems had been organised during the 20th century. The women who joined the movement came from diverse backgrounds and included immigrant and refugee women, Aboriginal women and Anglo women. Initially, groups worked separately for the most part but as time went on, they found ways to cooperate and collaborate. This book presents an account of the ideas, the diverse and shared efforts and the enduring hard work of women's health activists, drawn together in one volume for the first time. This relentless activism gradually had an impact on public policy and slowly brought forth major attitudinal changes. The book also identifies the opportunities for health reform that were created along the way, opportunities which deserve to be more fully embraced.

Book excerpt: Health in all policies (HiAP) is about promoting healthy public policy. HiAP is based on the understanding that health is not merely a product of health care activities, but is influenced by a wide range of social, economic, political, cultural and environmental determinants. Healthy public policy therefore needs to engage with and mobilise agencies that hae the policy levers and programs to influence action in these sectors. HiAP is a way of working across government to better achieve public policy outcomes and simultaneously improve population health and wellbeing outcomes. Good population health has positive impacts on productivity, sustainability and the economy, therefore it benefits all sectors and society as a whole. The concept originated in Europe, the government of South Australia has adapted it to meet the needs of Souh Australians, more specifically, to address targets within South Australia's strategic plan.
