This is a call for Expression of Interest's for people who want to be listed on our Brilliant People Registry.

If you're a good fit, we may call on you to provide sessions for the various programs we manage. It's a triple threat opportunity: You get PAID, you get to PROMOTE what you do, and you can PULL in new clients (see, it's brilliant).

When planning your next lot of catering at functions and events, why not make it healthy and lead by example? We've done the hard work for you and have put together a simple healthy catering guide to help you select your menu whther you're doing it inhouse or ordering in. Easy!

City Mission is on a #Mission2Quit…smoking. We’re busy pulling together the pieces of a complex program that will support City Mission employees to QUIT smoking. Bravo to the team for tackling this as it can be tough. This unique program will bring together Nicotine Replacement Therapy, QUIT chats, counselling and behavioural support across the six weeks, an exciting addition to the 2018 list.

This Project was funded by the Healthy Tasmania Community Innovations Grants through the Tasmanian Government.

If you’ve ever used ‘it’s too cold and dark’ as a reason to not exercise… sorry. The research tells us that the dark and cold weather does stop people exercising so, along with the City of Hobart, we thought we’d have a crack as fixing that. Healthy Hobart Goes Dark will bounce off the exuberance of the Dark Mofo festival. 
There are 18 unique and innovative sessions all happening in Hobart’s parks and facilities including Puffer Jacket Yoga, Discosize and Medieval Games. The program all begins with a Quidditch session starting on Friday the 15th June 4.30pm at Parliament Lawns.

Nothing like fixing up a shed eh? We’re taking our tools to Ravenswood to ‘activate’ the recently established Men’s and Community Shed (MACS). Through Healthy Shed we will support the group to reduce unhealthy habits like inactivity, smoking and food choices, plus we’ll focus on their connection to mental health.

George Town is moving into ‘position’; on your marks, get set, go (almost)! We are excited to be supporting the George Town Council to develop a ‘Position Paper’ about developing a community-wide health and wellbeing project. Work done previously tells us about the need for this type of initiative in the rural community so we are ready and waiting to get ‘Healthy George Town’ funded, developed and delivered. Stay tuned.

The research is clear that creating a Healthy Workplace is good for business, however the process of creating and putting a plan into action can often be unclear and time consuming... but not for us! Healthy Tasmania Pty Ltd has extensive experience developing, implementing and evaluating health and wellbeing strategies for Tasmanians in their work environment and we'd LOVE to chat with you and your team about the possibilities and outcomes for your workplace.
