WorkHealth Coach

WorkHealth Coach is a confidential support program available for Victorian workers who have a WorkHealth check and learn that they are at risk of type 2 diabetes or heart disease.

The program is:

• delivered by telephone, at a time convenient to you
• is completely free
• involves around 10 calls over a six month period
• assists you to set achievable goals that are relevant to you and work towards them step-by-step, and
• there is no catch - you can decide to stop participating at any time

It's a fantastic opportunity to change some of the things you've been meaning to get around to, like losing weight, quitting smoking or cutting down on alcohol. Read the stories of people who are already benefiting from the support of their own personal WorkHealth Coach.

How do I get started?

You can enrol for WorkHealth Coach during your WorkHealth check, and a WorkHealth Coach will call you within 14 days.

If you have already completed your WorkHealth check and didn't enrol for WorkHealth Coach, you can call to enrol at any time on 1800 002 685.

How does it work?

Depending on your lifestyle goals and your WorkHealth check results, you may continue receiving regular support from your WorkHealth Coach via the telephone, or if you have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes, you might be encouraged to participate in Diabetes Australia - Victoria's Life! program. Your Coach will advise you.
