Do you want to support your community to live healthier lives? The FREE Life! program can help.

Delivered by qualified health professionals, including dietitians and exercise physiologists, Life! gives your community members ongoing and personalised support to help them reach their health goals.

Throughout the program, participants learn about:

  • Nutrition and eating healthy meals
  • Increasing physical activity
  • Enhancing your mood and sleep
  • Managing and reducing stress
  • Overcoming setbacks
  • Setting and achieving personal health goals

By living a healthier life, they will also reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Regardless of your community groups size or location, the Life! team can tailor a package to suit your needs.

Organise a Life! group course for your community

Life! has a range of offerings, including face-to-face or online delivery. We can deliver a group course to your community group or organisation, working closely with you to plan, deliver and promote all activities to suit your community’s needs.

We have successfully delivered the Life! program to The Men’s Shed, Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, neighbourhood houses and local councils.

Book a free Health Living Session to find out more!

Healthy Living Sessions are a bite-sized version of the Life! program, run for approximately 30 – 45 minutes. These can be delivered in person or online by one of our program facilitators or a Diabetes Victoria staff member.

In the session, we cover:

  • The benefits of a healthy lifestyle
  • A brief overview of diabetes, heart disease and stroke
  • Goals, motivations, challenges, and barriers
  • The Life! program: structure, content, and participant testimonials
  • Eligibility check

As part of the session, attendees will complete a 2-minute health check to determine if they are eligible for the FREE Life! program. Any eligible attendees can complete the Life! program together as a group.

Please note, we can only deliver these sessions to a group of 20 or more. To book a free Healthy Living Session with the Life! program, complete the Community Request Form.
