2022 Public Health Survey
for Stakeholder Organisations & Agencies

The Shire of Collie is preparing a Public Health Plan as part of its obligations under the Public Health Act 2016. In doing this, the Shire is seeking input from Stakeholder Organisations into how public health can be maintained and improved within the Shire of Collie.

The Shire invites you to participate in this survey on behalf of your Organisation, which will take roughly 10 minutes to complete.

4. Improving Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing
5. Making Smoking History
6. Optimise Mental Health and Wellbeing
7. Preventing Injuries and Promoting Safer Communities
8. Reducing Harmful Alcohol Use
9. Reduce the use of Illicit Drugs and Misuse of Pharmaceuticals

You can complete the survey online, or request a printed copy from the Shire Office. The closing date is Monday 1st August. Please return any printed responses to the Shire Office by that date.
