What is WorkHealth

WorkHealth is a five year, $218 million program aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of Victorian workers. It represents a significant new investment in the health and safety of Victoria's workers and a major contribution to the Victorian Government's action on chronic disease prevention.

Over the next five years, every workplace in Victoria will have the opportunity to take an active part in health programs in the workplace. Programs for workers will include workplace-based health checks and information, as well as access to advice and education programs to help workers reduce their risk of chronic disease.

The Health Check includes:

Self Assessment Questionnaire
Blood Pressure Measurement
Cholesterol Test (including LDL/HDL analysis)
Blood Glucose Measurement
Waist Circumference Measurement
Type II Diabetes Risk Assessment
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment
Information Sheets
Individual Results Booklet
Consultation
Statistical Report for organisations providing 50 or more Health Checks

Workplace Health Promotion Grants (Alternative to Health Checks)

Workplace health promotion grants are one-off funding opportunities for employers to build or expand programs that promote worker health and encourage healthy behaviours in the workplace.

Workplace grants are available to employers who have already offered health checks to the majority of workers in the last two years - as a foundation for ongoing workplace health promotion activities.

The WorkHealth program will fund workplace health promotion activities that:

encourage healthy behaviours and improve the health and well-being of people at work; and
create a supportive work environment that makes healthy choices easy for workers and encourages them to maintain healthy behaviours in the future

Who is eligible for a WorkHealth Grant?

Employers that have offered health checks to the majority of their workers in the past two years

AND

Are Victorian business or have Victorian based operations

AND

Pay a WorkSafe Injury Insurance premium or be an approved WorkSafe self-insurer

Corporate Health Management are leading experts in achieving positive health outcomes for both staff and employers. We will work with you to design a system based health programme that meets the needs and goals of your organisation.

Applying for a workplace health promotion grant

Employers are eligible to apply for a workplace grant if they are a Victorian business or have Victorian based operations, pay a WorkSafe Injury Insurance premium, or are an approved WorkSafe self-insurer, and have already offered health checks to the majority of your workers in the past two years.
