More than 150 health professionals across Victoria are taking extra steps to improve their community’s wellbeing by delivering the Life! program.
Our Life! facilitators come from a variety of allied health backgrounds and include exercise physiologists, physiotherapists, nurses (div 1 and 2), dieticians and other eligible professions. To become a Life! facilitator, health professionals need to have:
Health professionals must have an affiliation with a Life! provider (organisation), or be registered as a private provider with a supporting ABN number.
We are now taking expressions of interest from health professionals to be trained to deliver the Life! program group course. The Life! program group course includes 7 sessions with participants over 12 months to support them to achieve their health goals. In Metro Victoria group courses are delivered fully online due to COVID-19. In rural and regional locations facilitators may deliver the program face-to-face providing Diabetes Victoria’s requirements for face-to-face delivery have been met.
We accept applications from registered health professionals from a range of backgrounds, including dietitians, nurses (Div. 1), exercise physiologists and physiotherapists amongst others. Applicants will be required to have completed core training with Health Change Australia. Relevant experience and skills in group facilitation applied behaviour change and motivational interviewing would be highly regarded.
