Getting It Sorted looks at why men's health is unnecessarily poor and why men are reluctant users of health services. The report argues that here is no 'user-led' movement for better male health, as few men have campaigned or lobbied for improvement.

Getting It Sorted provides a framework for improving the health of boys and men, to include:

• Building 'healthy' public policy - Male health should be included in all health and relevant public policy (including education and employment policy, the criminal justice system, family law, etc.)
• Creating supportive environments - Establish structures for health improvement at the places where men spend much of their time (e.g. the workplace, community and sports venues, pubs, etc.)
• Strengthening community actions - Engage men from all walks of life in the process of change
• Developing personal skills - Ensure individual men have the social skills necessary to utilise services effectively, the self-confidence to request and accept help and the ability to copy with changes in physical and mental functioning
• Re-orienting health services - Change towards a pro-active approach to enhance good health and prevent illness.
