The NSW Public Health Bulletin has achieved much over the past 24 years ¹ and there is a great deal to celebrate. To support an agile, contemporary, public health environment the Bulletin is about to enter a new phase in its evolution – one that builds on its proud history and strongly positions public health for the future. The Bulletin will be renamed Public Health Research & Practice and will strengthen its focus on supporting knowledge-driven policies and the provision of best practice public/population health services and programs in NSW and across Australia. This will be underpinned by original, policy-relevant research and articles on implementing and evaluating innovative NSW policies, services and programs. Editorial management and production will move to the Sax Institute and be overseen by an Editorial Board ( Box 1 ).
