The impact that injury has on all Western Australians reinforces the importance of focusing on the preventable and predictable nature of injury and the need to make injury prevention a priority. The wide range of health areas within injury further contributes to the need for an integrated approach to injury prevention by a range of health sectors. As a health professional, understanding the range of initiatives that already exist, and advocacy areas that need further attention, is vital for affective and sustainable public health programs.
