The benefits

A WorkHealth grant provides you with the opportunity to fund health and wellbeing activities for your workers.

You’ve already created great awareness among your workers about their health risks by doing WorkHealth checks. Now you can help them improve their lifestyle habits for the longer term by introducing health programs using your grant.

An activity menu has been created and includes activities like:

• holding healthy cooking demonstrations
• purchasing fitness equipment and/or providing on-site fitness classes 
• providing a range of quit smoking support
• providing fruit/vegetable boxes
• implementing healthy catering options
• installing bike racks
• develop a health and wellbeing policy for your organisation (use our health and wellbeing policy sample template to get you started)

This menu has been developed based on what is proven to work effectively in workplaces to help employees reduce their risk of chronic disease. You will be encouraged to select a range of options to create a thorough program for your workplace, that provides opportunities for the majority of workers to participate.

WorkHealth will also help you evaluate your program to determine its success.
