Page History

My health for life is an evidence-based behaviour change program designed to create sustained healthy habits and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. The program has a range of offerings, including small group sessions in patients’ local communities, telephone health coaching or video sessions. It is delivered through trained health professionals (e.g. dietitians and exercise physiologists) skilled and motivated to support patients in making and sustaining change.

The program is designed to complement current care provided by general practitioners and other health professionals. It is a practical extension of the advice given by health professionals to their patients, allowing participants to understand their health risks better and develop longer-term, sustainable health goals. General Practitioners and other health professionals will be kept informed of their patient’s progress, completing the care cycle. Health professionals are a critical part of the My health for life program, and we look forward to building strong, professional relationships while contributing to your patients’ overall care.
