Victoria Hub and Communities of Practice

Priorities

Evidence needs identified for Victoria include:

1. Recovery from storms, heatwaves, floods and bushfires in Victoria, with a focus on: 
   1. Community resilience and mental health 
   2. Financial hardship and equity 
   3. Food security 
   4. Energy and housing security 
2. Evidence to support the Victorian strategic agenda in relation to our changing climate. 
3. Victorian specific cost-benefit analyses for climate-focussed health interventions.
4. Systematic and scoping reviews of evidence (identifying sources of inequity and targets for prevention and mitigation).
5. Home environment monitoring for indoor air quality, mould etc – including amongst flood affected communities in Victoria. (vii) Simulation modelling of health gains associated with climate change policies, including estimates of the costs to the health system.
6. Surveys and focus groups to gain information on community needs and develop implementation strategies.
