Outdoor Health Policy Update Feb 2022 – Anita Pryor

Over the last 3 years, with guidance from Aboriginal and specialist mentors Aunty Judy Atkinson, Uncle Ken Jones, Carlie Atkinson, Luke Mabb and Jacob Prehn, input from AABAT members and proponents of related nature-based health practices, and discussions with wide-ranging policy makers, the Policy Unit has progressed a number of specific goals and objectives. Consistent with AABAT’s roots, collaboration and consultation continue to be deeply valued and central to the work of AABAT’s Policy Unit.

The Outdoor Health policy unit was developed by the Australian Association for Bush Adventure Therapy (AABAT) in 2018, in recognition of the opportunity to strengthen all Outdoor Health modalities under a single umbrella (not all OH practitioners identify with Bush Adventure Therapy), and the need to develop a policy unit to engage with government so that more people may benefit from evidence-informed nature-based health practices.
