This is a background paper for the Mitchell Institute November 2014 policy forum Chronic diseases in Australia: The case for changing course. The paper, written by Dr Sharon Willcox with the Mitchell Institute and a national expert advisory group, provides the case for changing course in Australian policies.

It addresses the health and non‐health factors contributing to the prevalence of chronic diseases and puts forward four major directions for change. It is anticipated that this paper will promote debate in the policy community and encourage new action on chronic disease.
