Consumers have the information and products to practice self-
care with confidence
• Non-prescription healthcare products rely on consumers
practicing responsible self-care
• Strong health literacy is fundamental to good self-care
• Only 40% of Australians have good health literacy
• Consumers are bombarded by information through many media
outlets and websites. Information is becoming increasingly
complex.
• Governments and HCP’s are engaging various strategies to
improve health literacy
• We have a role to play

outcomes

including
