Diabetes WA - Our workplace programs

Diabetes WA offers a range of services that support organisations to provide a healthy workplace environment and improve the wellbeing of staff.

The Get on Track Challenge
Do you want a fun, interactive and motivating program to improve the health of your workplace? Then take the Get on Track Challenge!

The Get on Track Challenge is a FREE, fun and entertaining team-based physical activity and healthy eating program for all West Australian adults.

It is a great health promoting activity for employers who are committed to improving employee health and wellbeing.

The challenge encourages employees to form teams, register online and participate in an inter-workplace competition. Participants not only aim to increase and record their daily physical activity, but are also encouraged to monitor their daily fruit and vegetable intake as well. They record their activity over the challenge period and watch their team progress along a West Australian track.

The online program provides interactive resources designed to help participants be active and make healthy food choices everyday, in a fun and supportive team environment. The challenge can assist participants to prevent weight gain and related complications, including diabetes, heart disease and some cancers and when run in a workplace environment it can also have a great impact on team morale and productivity.

‘I want to get fit’
‘I want to stop putting on weight’
‘I want to live a healthier lifestyle’

Then it’s time to invite your workplace to join the adult’s only online health program, My Healthy Balance.

My Healthy Balance has been designed by health professionals especially for adults who are ready to make healthy lifestyle changes. The program includes sessions on healthy eating, physical activity and other related lifestyle topics.

Speak Out About Diabetes
Raise awareness of type 2 diabetes in your workplace by booking a ‘Speak Out about Diabetes’ presentation.

Nearly one in four Australian adults either have or are at high risk of developing diabetes. Worse still, half of these people don’t even know that have it.

Diabetes WA has trained speakers available to visit your workplace to educate employees about type 2 diabetes and how they can prevent it. The interactive group presentation includes information on:

• Diabetes and why it is serious
• Risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes
• How to prevent type 2 diabetes

Speak Out presentations are free, and run between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Bookings are required at least six weeks prior to requested date.
