Where you'll be working

The Centre for Population Health aims to promote health and to prevent morbidity and mortality caused by modifiable risk factors.

Prevention is an essential and effective foundation in the delivery of high value health care.

The CPH portfolio encompasses:

Strategy, performance and policy of hepatitis B and C; sexually transmissible infections including HIV; tobacco; and healthy eating and active living to reduce lifestyle related chronic disease.

The strategies used to address these issues include state-wide policy and planning, legislation and regulation, program development alignment between clinical, operational, strategic direction resource allocation, performance monitoring, research and evaluation.

Programs and services funded by the CPH are delivered in government, non-government, community and clinical settings.

The CPH approach is characterised by a focus on evidence-informed programmatic and system-level interventions that improve health, reduce health inequity, create healthy environments, promote community action, enable personal health-seeking and recognise the social determinants of good health.

The Tobacco and E-Cigarettes Strategy Branch is responsible for the regulation of tobacco and e-cigarette retailing and smoke-free places in NSW.

The Branch aims to reduce tobacco and e-cigarette use, recognising smoking as the leading cause of preventable death and illness in our community.

- provide information and education to retailers about compliance requirements with the legislation.
- take enforcement action with a view to enforcing the law and deterring future offending conduct.
- undertake research and monitoring of tobacco related issues.
- promote positive compliance and the objects of the legislation.
