About Good For GladStone
Good for Gladstone is a campaign designed to support the residents of the Gladstone region to adopt healthier habits. Delivered by My health for life — the FREE Queensland Government health action initiative — it’s funded through Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
Throughout September 2024, we’ll be promoting a number of free activities and programs to help local residents to check in with their health. It’s all about taking simple steps in the right direction — the first one is to take the FREE Health Check.
