Deliver the HEAL™ Program within the Hunter New England Central Coast PHN (HNECCPHN)
Kinetic Medicine, in partnership with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA), has been awarded funding to provide mental health services and in-reach support for older Australians by implementing and delivering the Mental Health version of the Healthy Eating, Activity and Lifestyle (HEAL™) Program in the Mid-Coast and Port Stephens LGA and throughout the Hunter New England Central Coast PHN (HNECCPHN).
Expressions of Interest are now open for health professionals to deliver the funded Healthy Eating, Activity & Lifestyle (HEAL™) Program within the Hunter New England Central Coast PHN.
It is important to note that this project allows for a limited number of health professionals to be trained and deliver the program, and as such, we envisage the expression of interest process to be highly competitive.
