Look after your health with free support

Free health coach
My health for life is a FREE initiative funded by the Queensland Government. Qualified Health Coaches work with you to design a health plan suited to you. 
It’s all about making healthier choices and creating healthier habits

Delivered in six coaching sessions, at a relaxed pace, the initiative is designed to help you discover ways of changing your day-to-day behaviour. You have the choice of groups or one-to-one coaching  locally, at home or at work. Participation can be on the phone, online or in culturally adapted sessions. 

With the support of your Health Coach, you will develop an action plan. Whether your goal is to get more active, eat better, feel less stressed, or lose weight, the focus is on building a step-by-step plan to help you achieve your goals over time. You can take part and reduce your risk of chronic conditions.

To get started you can complete the online Health Check or ask your GP to go through the Health Check with you.
