This document was written to assist in the identification of priority injury issues for the next National Injury Prevention Plan in Australia. The document provides a discussion of injury priority setting in a global context by reviewing the public health approach to injury prevention and in a local context by identifying a developmental approach to injury prevention within Australia.

Each of the proposed priority injury areas is discussed with respect to monitoring and maintenance of successes, defining and measuring severity, equity issues and partnership development. The document will be relevant to those interested in priority setting in a health arena, health and policy planners, health administrators, researchers and the public.
