Australia
The Healthy Streets Approach started being applied in NSW and WA in 2019. It is gradually becoming incorporated into more and more local government policies and spreading to other states.
300 practitioners across Australia have completed Foundation Level training. A Healthy Streets Design Check has been developed with Alumni for Australia. This Design Check is now being applied on projects in most states. Several local government authorities have commissioned bespoke short-courses for their staff to apply Healthy Streets tools and techniques, most recently Merri-bek and Ballerat in Victoria. In August 2026 Lucy Saunders will delivering the accredited Healthy Streets Designer training course in Newcastle and Melbourne plus 1-day training courses on a range of topics including low-cost measures, focusing around schools and handling resistance to change. Enquiries and booking can be made by emailing training@healthystreets.com
