About

 

Healthy George Town is an evidence-based, community-wide, holistic, collaborative and sustainable health and wellbeing project that aims to create a safe, connected, vibrant, healthy and positive community - and it's FREE for all participants!

In partnership with community organisations, local providers and health professionals, Healthy George Town facilitates the delivery of a broad suite of activities and sessions, events and initiatives. Healthy George Town is mobilising the community to improve their wellbeing by; filling gaps in provision, creating pathways, reducing barriers and targeting those with the highest need.

Healthy George Town has been in the planning stages since 2011 and is designed to add value to existing successful local programs/services and fill any identified gaps, therefore, Healthy George Town has not duplicated services, rather endorse, support and guide new and existing healthy lifestyle providers to enhance their service and their connection with the community

Healthy George Town has four core objectives :

  • Develop strategic partnerships with key stakeholders for the improvement of healthy lifestyle behaviours.
  • Increase the opportunities for participation in healthy lifestyle activities for those with the highest needs.
  • Identify, develop and maintain resources that promote living a healthy lifestyle.
  • Monitor and evaluate project outcomes.

Healthy George Town was developed in partnership with Healthy Tasmania Pty Ltd
