Australia’s spending on public health activities — those of a preventive, protective or health promoting nature — grew by 21% in 2007-08, according to a report released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The report Public health expenditure in Australia 2007-08 shows total expenditure on public health was $2,159 million in 2007-08, or $102 per person on average.
