The Queensland Government has launched the Get Healthy Information and Coaching Service, which is a free, confidential telephone service available to people over the age of 18 years.

The initiative aims to help people:

  • developing personal health goals
  • creating action plans
  • maintaining motivation
  • identifying problem areas
  • creating solutions for successful lifestyle change.

This is a joint initiative between Australian, state and territory governments under the National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health.

For more information or to register, go to the Get Healthy website or call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

General Practitioners are also being encouraged to refer any client they think would benefit, to the Get Healthy Service. Medical providers can learn more at the For Health Professionals page.
