A new government-funded initiative is offering West Australians a valuable opportunity to transform their health and wellbeing at no cost. The Better Health Coaching Service provides free, one-on-one support to adults seeking to make positive lifestyle changes, addressing prevalent health challenges across the state.
Personalised Support for Lasting Change
The service, delivered by the Better Health Company, is designed to be highly adaptable, catering to individual needs and goals. Whether participants aim to lose weight, manage stress, quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, improve their diet, or enhance fitness levels, the program offers tailored guidance to help achieve sustainable results.
Eligible West Aussies aged 18 and over can access up to 10 free phone appointments with qualified health professionals. This structured support system empowers individuals to overcome past difficulties and build healthier habits with expert assistance.
Addressing a Critical Health Need
The launch of this service comes at a crucial time, as recent data highlights significant health concerns in Western Australia. According to the West Australia Department of Health's 2022 report on the Health and Wellbeing of Adults in West Australia, more than one in three adults (37.7 per cent) are classified as overweight, with an additional 37.9 per cent living with obesity.
These statistics underscore the urgent need for accessible interventions to combat preventable health issues. The Better Health Coaching Service aims to fill this gap by providing proactive support to help residents improve their overall health outcomes.
Real-Life Success Stories
Participants in the program have reported transformative experiences, citing the personalised care and understanding they received. One individual shared, "During my few months on the Better Health Coaching Service, it was an amazing experience. I had someone who cared, understood my challenges, and helped me work through things I'd found difficult in the past."
The participant added, "My health and lifestyle have had a really positive change, and I feel more confident in my ability to take care of my health and wellbeing." Such testimonials highlight the program's potential to foster meaningful, long-term improvements in participants' lives.
How to Access the Service
The service is completely free for eligible West Australians, making it an accessible resource for those looking to kick bad habits and embrace healthier lifestyles. For more information or to sign up, individuals can visit the Better Health Coaching website or contact the dedicated phone line at 1300 822 953.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in public health efforts, offering practical support to help West Aussies take control of their wellbeing and reduce the burden of preventable diseases in the community.
