Every day, over 90 Victorians develop diabetes, making it the fastest growing chronic condition in our state. Of those, almost 90% have type 2 diabetes. Life!, as the largest free prevention program of its kind in Australia, has a unique opportunity to reduce this number.

The program is delivered as a group course (online and face-to-face) and via telephone health coaching over 7 sessions.

Life! offers tailored in-language options delivered in Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabic, alongside our English program.
