Position Statement

Addressing intergenerational health disparities:  The -1 to 5 Healthy Start Agenda

The AMA recognises that many factors impact a child’s health and wellbeing.

In particular, a healthy start to life commencing with parental health pre-conception through to age 5years, fundamentally impacts every person’s lifelong health and wellbeing prospects. Many of the factors impacting the -1 to 5 years of life are influenced by the family, community and access to government services.
