Get Healthy at Work
Australians spend about one third of their lives at work, so being healthy at work can make a big impact on helping to reduce the prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
No matter how big or small your workplace, Get Healthy at Work can help address individual, behavioural and workplace factors leading to poor health. It can also help in reducing tobacco and alcohol use or increasing physical activity and healthy eating.
