The ECCQ Chronic Disease Program offers free group education sessions designed to empower communities with essential health knowledge.
These interactive sessions cover vital topics, including health screening, navigating the Australian healthcare system, and managing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and lung diseases. Participants also learn about physical activity, reducing smoking and alcohol consumption, and strategies for living well with chronic conditions. Sessions are tailored to suit beginner, intermediate, or advanced English levels, ensuring accessibility for diverse communities.
Community organisations and groups can book these valuable educational sessions by completing our simple booking form.
