The proposal would establish a National Preventative Health Commission that would provide preventative and public health oversight and advice to government. The Commission would offer grants for health promotion initiatives and campaigns.

Funding for the Commission would be equal to the sum of funding for the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) and the former Australian National Health Agency, and would be indexed over time by changes in the consumer price index. Departmental funding was specified to be in addition to the capped amount.

The proposal would commence from 1 July 2022.
