Healthy Cities Illawarra works to promote and improve the health, physical environment and quality of life of the people of the Illawarra.

It is a non-profit, membership organisation and is part of the global Healthy Cities movement founded by the World Health Organisation.

The Healthy Cities philosophy is that our health is affected by environmental, economic, social, mental and physical factors. Because these are big issues, it requires all sectors of the community to work together to improve our society which will in turn improve health.

We encourage individuals, groups and businesses to join us and help us work towards the Illawarra and Shoalhaven becoming the healthiest region in Australia.

Healthy Cities Illawarra is funded by NSW Health and South East Sydney and Illawarra Area Health Service
