WorkHealth checks provide Victorian workers with the opportunity to receive a free convenient and confidential health check in the workplace.

By participating in these checks, workers will learn more about their risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The checks look at factors that impact personal health such as diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption. Each check takes about 15 – 20 minutes, with feedback and advice provided immediately based on results.

• A chance to learn more about your health
• An increased awareness of your risk of preventable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
• Encouraging, positive ways to reduce risk factors and maintain good health
• An opportunity to implement healthy eating and exercise programs at work

The benefits for employers include:

• Improved productivity
• Improved staff morale
• Reduced absenteeism
• Reduced presenteeism (remaining at work when unwell)
• Reduced staff turnover
• Reduced workplace injuries, and

• Improved corporate image
