The program has been culturally tailored and is delivered in language to support CALD communities
to create healthy lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of chronic disease. Over the course of 6
sessions, delivered in groups or one-on-one, virtually, or face-to-face, participants learn about
current Australian guidelines, their risk of chronic disease and ways to make positive changes in their
lives. This is an initiative funded by Health and Wellbeing Queensland, the program is run by a
statewide alliance that includes ECCQ, Diabetes Australia, Stroke Foundation, Heart Foundation,
Queensland Aboriginal & Islander Health Council, and the Primary Health Networks.
The culturally tailored program provides 3 sessions, delivered in small groups or one-on-one within
the Brisbane North PHN area. The program is aimed at improving the awareness, knowledge, and
ability to self-manage or prevent chronic disease, as well as improve participants understanding of
the Australian healthcare system to foster stronger relationships with primary health clinics.
Sessions are flexible and tailored to the participants needs, delivered in their desired language and
at their preferred location, when acceptable. This program is funded by Brisbane North Primary
Health Network (BNPHN).
