How the Health Plan Is Created

You’ll be asked to complete a short lifestyle questionnaire before the school health screening.

The questionnaire covers 4 areas: eating, activity, sleep and screen time.

During your child's School Health visit, healthcare staff will talk to your child about their habits and interests.

Based on this, a personalised Lifestyle Prescription will be included in your child’s Health Plan. This helps make sure the plan works for your child.

Your support makes a big difference in your child's health journey. You can help by:
