          1. Health promotion can take place in a number of settings, such as schools, workplaces and community health centres, as well as through NGOs, such as the National Heart Foundation of Australia and the Cancer Council. An example of this reorientation includes health professionals working with and supporting schools in health promotion initiatives such as MindMatters, Jump Rope for Heart and the New South Wales Healthy School Canteen Strategy.

            1. Some examples of healthy public policy include taxation subsidies on low-alcohol beer, legislation relating to driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, labelling requirements for packaged food products, occupational health and safety regulations, legislation on smoking in enclosed public places such as clubs and pubs, and school policies related to sun safety.
            2. • Acceptance and application of social justice principles is essential for effective health promotion.
              1. • The Ottawa Charter provides an effective framework for health promotion initiatives to be modelled upon.
                1. • Health promotion is the process of enabling individuals to increase control over their health and improve their health.
