Identifying and dealing with priority health issues helps improve Australia's health.
Identifying priority health issues includes considering the following factors:

-Social justice principles
D: (social justice) a value that favours the reduction or elimination of inequity; the promotion of inclusiveness of diversity, and the establishment of environments that are supportive of all people.
The four principles as they relate to health are:
-equity (fair allocation of resources and entitlements without discrimination)
-access (availability of health services, info and education
-rights (equitable opportunities for all individuals to achieve good health)
Australia's health must reflect these principles.
