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 Practitioner training and 80 are accredited Healthy Streets Designers. They are using the Healthy Streets Design Check for Australia 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. Every year Lucy Saunders spends several weeks delivering in-person training courses in Australia on a range of topics including low-cost measures, focusing around schools and handling resistance to change.
