The benefits can be felt by workplaces as the healthiest employees are almost three times more productive and are less likely to experience workplace injuries. The lasting lifestyle changes that come from the initiative can also positively influence workers’ families and communities.

*My health for life Program, January 2016 – September 2023, Workplace Outcome Summary

I did telephone coaching and it was the perfect balance for me. There were regular check-ins with my coach, especially for someone like me, from a regional area, it’s a fantastic way to get involved in the program. I’ve been able to cut back on my blood pressure medication, my cholesterol medication and, generally, I’m living a much healthier lifestyle. My health for life is a great way to make that first step to change  your life for the better.

Mark, My health for life participant

I’m a proud My health for life graduate. I discovered, to my horror, that I was at high risk. It gives you great tools to allow you to decide for yourself what is comfortable and what suits you. I’m probably eating less, I’ve cut back on fizzy drinks for the most part. I’m doing a lot more exercise. I’ve got a lot more space in my pants these days. I’ve had to pull my belt in a few notches. I’m quite happy. I can see a lot more of my toes than I used to be able to see.

Neil, My health for life participant

I was at a stage where I was sick of being at home, semi-isolated, feeling fat and lazy  and concerned about how my health and activity was declining with age. I saw others around me talking about being old, losing energy, sounding bitter and twisted.  So, I felt I needed to get up and do something. I participated in the My health for life program. It was a great first step and stimulus for me to realise I only have one  life, and it is me that has to do something to make sure that life is lived to the full,  to enjoy full health and active movement as long as possible.

It has helped me lose a total of 16kg and developed a much more positive and active approach to life in the last 6 months. I would love the broader population take on  this challenge and reach out, grow, use the opportunity to maximise their health  and discover new ways to grow a healthier community and state.

Peter Button, My health for life participant

My health for life is a great program for any individual looking to improve any aspect of their health! It focuses on small, easy to adapt behaviours to benefit our health and lifestyle. It’s a positive and supportive environment with like-minded people, and it’s amazing to watch the health journey of individuals evolve!

Nicholas Steel, Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Health Coach

I’m less of a stress head and I have trimmed down a bit and I definitely feel better and more motivated. My cholesterol went down to five in just three months and my blood pressure is better. The changes were gradual and the knowledge I gained was great. I was steadfast from the beginning and while it’s been a big change it’s been worth it.

Jason, My health for life participant

My knees are not as bad now, and I’ve noticed I have more energy. I’m feeling a lot happier and it’s great to be getting in and doing more and helping my husband more on the farm. Horses are a big part of my life, but I haven’t been able to ride for a while now because of my knees. I’ve been missing it and so I can’t wait to get back on the horses and do more with my grandkids.
