Wellbeing SA has a long-term vision to create a balanced health and wellbeing system that supports improved physical, mental and social wellbeing for South Australians.

Wellbeing SA will drive the rebalancing of the health and wellbeing system from treating people when they become unwell to one that also promotes physical, mental and social wellbeing, prevents ill health and supports people to maintain wellbeing and lead healthier lives.
