The right level of prevention could generate cumulative economic benefits in

Australia of $10.3 billion by 2025. The cost of obesity was $11.3

billion in 2017-18 alone. In this class, we pop the hood on prevention

financing. We explore the potential roles of agencies, employers,

businesses, communities, (re)insurers, philanthropists, superfunds and

banks, as well as "unusual suspects" like airlines. What can we learn

from community finance, social impact bonds, payment-by-results and

layered investment structures? Can "preventiontech" help allocate risk

and reward associated with complex system interventions at the

population level? And how can global experience with new climate

finance, for example, show us the way?
