Barwon Health - Work Wellness

Project Health has been involved in supporting StaffCare, Barwon Health's staff health clinic, for a number of years.  This has included the development of a formal staff health and wellbeing program, called 'Work Wellness' which aims to actively support physical and mental wellbeing and promote awareness of a wide range of community-based health initiatives.

Project Health coordinates the program, which provides the following services and resources to Barwon Health employees:

• Regular communication including monthly email newsletters, mailouts, screensavers and intranet
• Networking and recognition of Local Champions through regular Champion Get Togethers
• Policy development (including Employee Health and Wellbeing Policy, Alcohol and Drugs Policy, etc)
• Support for staff wishing to quit smoking
• Promotion of mental health and wellbeing through workshops and individual clinical services
