EHA was formed to enable members to express their opinions across a range of public health and environmental health concerns. The second central feature is that, as a federated, autonomous incorporated organisation, all decision making to be undertaken at State Level.

The EHA objectives are very broad, decidedly so to allow our organisation to move in many directions, to reflect members' needs and the changing face of environmental health.

The federated system places emphasis on ensuring accountability for members' funds and communication to outside stakeholders. The EHA manages its own budgets and reports through an annual general meeting to members. This ensures that their local concerns are reflected in decision-making and State organisations can be flexible and innovative as they conduct of their day-to-day business.

The federated system ensures that formation of an Australian Council is constituted by representative State bodies. As you might be aware EHA (Tasmania) has been recently incorporated and sharing of information and discussing a National structure process will begin shortly.

EHA will conduct a State Conference at Piney Lakes Environmental Centre on 22/23 September 2005 and in the next twelve months will:
" conduct (5) SIG sessions with complimentary members' attendance
" return an operating profit for investment in the future of the organisation
" publish monthly electronic bulletins
" launch an "Employment Directory' for professionals and graduates accessed via our website
" appoint a part time secretary and a media liaison officer, and
" partake in developing comment in a wide range of government and industry discussion papers"
