📣 Shaping Lifelong Health Challenge | EOI deadline extended to 12 June
Not sure whether the Challenge is for you?
It might connect with your work, ideas or experience if:
🔎 Your team or organisation has a problem you keep coming back to, something you see in your work or community that you'd like to better understand and explore ways to address.
💡 You have an idea you'd like to test, refine or develop further, such as a service adjustment, program concept, or different way of doing something.
🔬 You're a researcher with existing research, a new idea, or a question that would benefit from community connections, a setting to test or apply it in, or partners across health, service and lived-experience perspectives.
🗣️ You're a community member who wants to bring lived experience and help shape the work as it develops.
The Living Lab offers facilitation, community engagement, project management, participatory methods, qualitative insights, and the connections to bring the right people together. This early work and collaboration can help build the foundation for future pilots, service improvement initiatives, grant applications and research collaborations.
The three focus areas are Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds and Healthy Participation, shaped by community and stakeholder conversations across the Coast.
If this speaks to your work, ideas or lived experience, we’d love to hear from you!
