Life! is a free healthy lifestyle program helping you improve your eating habits, increase your physical activity and manage stress.

Run by expert health professionals, the program is delivered as a group course or telephone health coaching service and shows eligible Victorians how to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The program is also offered to some Acceptable Non-Victorian postcodes. (Please note, the Life! program is not available for people who are living with Diabetes.)

Life! is funded by the Victorian government and managed by Diabetes Victoria. The program includes 7 sessions delivered over a 12-month period.

The Life! program offers a range of options:

Group course (face-to-face or online groups) – The Life! group course comprises 7 sessions and is delivered in-person or online via Zoom or Teams. Each group consists of 8-10 participants and is delivered by an accredited health professional. Online groups run for 45 minutes, and face-to-face groups run for 1.5-2 hours.

Telephone coaching service (individual calls) – The Life! Telephone Health Coaching (THC) option includes 7 phone calls with an accredited health professional. This delivery mode provides flexibility for participants to complete the program at a time and location that is convenient for them.

Life! program for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities – Bi-lingual facilitators have been trained to deliver the program in Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabic. All program resources have been translated and adapted to be culturally appropriate for members of these communities. We also offer the program in plain English.

Please note, The Life! program is not available for people who are living with diabetes. The Life! program is a prevention program, offered to people who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
