Healthway
Healthway (the Western Australian Health Promotion Foundation) was established in 1991 under Section 15 of the Tobacco Control Act 1990 as an independent statutory body reporting to the Minister for Health. Healthway now functions under Part 5 of the Tobacco Products Control Act 2006.
Healthway provides sponsorship to sports, arts, and racing organisations to promote healthy messages, facilitate healthy environments and increase participation in healthy activities. Healthway also provides grants to a diverse array of organisations to encourage healthy lifestyles and advance health promotion programs.
The key priorities for Healthway are reducing harm from tobacco, reducing harm from alcohol, reducing obesity and promoting good mental health.
Healthway – promoting the Act-Belong-Commit Message
Act-Belong-Commit is a community-based health promotion campaign that encourages people to take action to improve their mental health and wellbeing. This evidence-based campaign was developed primarily from research undertaken by Curtin University into people’s perceptions of mental health and the behaviours they believed protected and promoted good mental health. The campaign is directed by Mentally Healthy WA at Curtin University, and implemented through health services, local governments, women’s health services and not-for-profit groups.
As the brand name suggests, people can build positive mental health by keeping physically, mentally and socially active (Act); by keeping involved in family and community activities and participating in community events (Belong); and by taking on challenges or causes that provide meaning and purpose in their lives (Commit).
There is substantial evidence that these three domains represent increasing levels of contribution to positive mental health (and in fact, to physical health).

96fm is Keeping real music alive
96FM has spent the past year delving deep into our past, talking to loyal, lapsed and non-listeners to create a renewed focus for our brand and a sharper on-air offering. Our biggest goal was to broaden our appeal beyond the blokes and the tradies and to cater towards a much bigger group desperate for an offering in thePerthmarket.
For Real Music Lovers We’re not for the posers or the background music listeners; we’re about bringing real music, played by real musicians with real instruments to the forefront. We’re about honouring the greats, but not clinging to the past. We’re freshening up our play list to play the best real music musicians have to offer.
We’re continuing to focus our target towards 25 – 44 too, with a more balanced mix of males and females. We’ve also worked with our presenters to create a more authentic sound, which is fresh not mouldy and cheeky but not rude. Given our local base and strong heritage inPerth, we can stick to more original and locally relevant programming.
Keep Real Music Alive
To compliment the extensive behind the scenes work, we’ve launched a campaign to explain our new purpose through TV, Adshels and Online. To view our new TV Commercial, visit the website.
