These principles include a set of aspirations - what we want to achieve - and approaches to help us get there.

• increasing social, civic and economic participation
• developing a greater voice, combined with greater responsibility

Approaches

• building on individual and community strengths
• building partnerships with key stakeholders
• developing tailored services
• giving high priority to early intervention and prevention
• building joined-up services and whole of government(s) solutions
• using evidence and integrated data to inform policy
• using locational approaches
• planning for sustainability
