Chief Health Officer's Report 2020
The ACT Chief Health Officer (CHO) Report 2020 was released in May of 2021.
The CHO Report provides information about the health and wellbeing of the ACT population. The report also provides information about the challenges that we face and the potential opportunities for improvements.
