A new national framework tracking the health and wellbeing of young people across Australia has been launched in hopes of encouraging significant improvements before 2030. The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation [[VicHealth]], the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute [[M-C-R-I]], and the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth have joined forces, warning that the health and wellbeing of Australia's youth is on the decline. Dr Sasikaran Sudarshini, a family physician in Sydney, explains the causes of decline health in young people and the ways to address them. Produced by: Praba Maheswaran.
