A new approach to improving health and wellbeing
THRIVE is a cutting-edge initiative involving the combination of strategies for the identification, prevention and treatment of conditions that contribute to the health burden in Australia and worldwide.
The success of the initiative will:
improve the health of people in your community
increase your ability to effectively treat patients
improve the efficiency of your healthcare practice
THRIVE will serve as a model for reducing the burden of chronic disease all around the world.
Help us co-design the THRIVE digital health platform in collaboration with the THRIVE team and members of the community in rural and regional Victoria.
You will be asked to complete a population survey which asks about your background, health and lifestyle. By completing the survey, you have the chance to win one of 24 visa gift cards, each worth $100.
To give you a full understanding of what participation in the population study involves, we have prepared the following document: PLIS 2023_173. Please read over the material and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
If you think would like to participate, please click on the JOIN THRIVE link below.
You may be invited to undertake a clinical assessment with a trained professional. You will be asked questions about your health and have physical measurements taken such as blood pressure, height, and weight. You will then be offered tests to investigate your risk of developing chronic disease. If the tests indicate you have a chronic disease, we will refer you for treatment.
If the tests indicate you have a chronic disease, you can still participate in THRIVE as this program can be delivered alongside other healthcare you may receive.
If you would like to work on behaviour to improve your health and/or reduce your risk of chronic disease, we would welcome you to join our intervention in which you will choose one or more health-related behaviours you wish to target to improve your health. We will offer you personalised coaching over 12 months and the use of a new digital health platform to help you along the way.
THRIVE is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia and conducted in collaboration with the following partners:
The THRIVE Team acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters where our bases and field stations are located and we pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations Peoples.
