About The COACH Program®

What is The COACH Program®?

The COACH Program® is a confidential free health coaching service delivered over the phone by Diabetes Tasmania’s health professionals to help those at risk or with type two diabetes learn about how to take better care of their health. It is based on a self management model so it’s all about helping you to take better care of yourself.

Often it can be hard to remember all the targets you need to achieve to make sure you are minimising any risk of developing type two diabetes or any complication associated with it and your personal health coach is available on the end of the phone over six months to answer your questions and to keep you on track. When you graduate you will feel confident about discussing with your GP how you can reach and stay at target and to sustain lifestyle changes you have set to meet your own health goals.

Some coaching appointments are available outside usual work hours.
