demonstrating personal and professional honesty, trustworthiness and respect in our dealings with each other and our stakeholders. - Excellence
providing efficient and effective access to credible, reliable, evidence-informed information, knowledge and shared expertise; demonstrating our value as an accessible, easy-to-use, first "go to" resource system for supporting health promoters in their work. - Diversity
being an inclusive forum reflecting a diversity of people, cultures and ideas. - Accountability
making effective and efficient use of our resources; demonstrating a commitment to ongoing evaluation, improvement, and transparency. - Innovation
being open to new ways of providing support to our stakeholders so that our mutual and passionate goal of healthy people and healthy communities can be realized; avoiding duplication with other health promotion work.
