- Wellbeing – promoting the physical fitness, nutrition, mental and social wellbeing of the community.
- Equity and access – enabling those living in regional, rural and remote areas to participate in activities that enhance their quality of life.
- Education and training – providing widespread access to resources and information to improve community awareness of health-related issues.
