Ways to Get Involved

Life Ed joins Australian Self-Care Alliance

Wednesday, 5 Feb 2025

Life Ed is proud to become a member of the Australian Self-Care Alliance, a collaboration between healthcare consumers, health promotion charities, policy experts and industry partners.

This group combines their expertise, experience and influence to advocate for change in national health and care sector policy and services.

Self-care is an important part of leading a healthier life, it teaches us to listen to our bodies and minds, to become aware of how other factors impact our development, and encourages us to prioritise and advocate for our own health. It goes hand-in-hand with prevention which is why it is so aligned with our work at Life Ed.

As the largest and most recognised provider in preventative health education in schools, we bring a unique perspective to this impressive group of change makers. As part of our work with the Alliance, we hope to elevate the voices of students and teachers across the country.
Russell D’Costa, CEO at Life Ed Australia.
