Get Healthy at Work is an important new NSW Government initiative that aims to help improve the health of working adults and appropriately manage health risks within your workplace.
The free service consists of an easy 5-step process involving:
1. Getting the ball rolling
2. Working out your needs
3. Prioritising a health issue and developing a plan
4. Implementing your program; and
5. Monitoring and reviewing its effectiveness
This process is guided by the Australian Government and helps to establish a Workplace Health Program with all the tools, templates and resources you need to develop a simple action plan to address a priority health issue at your workplace. It also includes Brief Health Checks; a free and confidential service for workers completed either online or by a Health Professional at your workplace. It takes just 15 minutes and offers immediate feedback about an individual’s health and risk of developing type-2 diabetes and heart disease and provides advice on how to make changes for better health.
