Health and wellbeing program

We provide a broad range of health and wellbeing services to our members, which continues to be a highly valued part of the mutual scheme benefit. 

The program is designed to create healthy workplaces, and improve awareness and lower health and wellbeing risk factors. We believe that this not only leads to improved health outcomes, safety performance, and staff retention, it also reduces workers compensation claims.

Members receive an annual funding allocation and gain access to a range of health services through a number of professional service providers. The service offerings have been refined to ensure they are evidence based in terms of their impact in raising health awareness and improving health risk factors at an individual level. The program will provide services in areas including; health screening, education, and lifestyle and behavioural services.

For a quick summary of the programs features please see the health and wellbeing flyer.
