Supporting a healthy business

We all know that people are the key to the success of any organisation, and that with happy healthy workers we are likely to have less absenteeism, reduced staff turnover and greater productivity. There is also evidence that a healthier workforce is likely to have fewer workplace injuries.

WorkHeath is a program designed to address the risk of chronic disease and support productivity for Victorian workplaces.

To support the development of successful health and wellbeing programs, WorkHealth is giving employers the opportunity to participate in worker health checks or apply for a workplace health promotion grant.

Worker health checks

Health checks give employers the chance to kick-start health and wellbeing programs in the workplace. Worker health checks encourage workers to learn about the state of their health and recommend easy and practical ways to reduce risk factors and maintain good health.

Workplace health promotion grants

For employers already offering health checks, workplace health promotion grants provide one-off funding opportunities to expand health and wellbeing activities to support healthy behaviours in the workplace.
