Indigenous Healthy Lifestyle Program

What is the Moorditj Koort Healthy Lifestyles Program?

The Moorditj Koort Healthy Lifestyles Program (IHLP) supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to live strong, healthy lives through free group fitness, health education, and personalised support for all fitness levels and life stages.

To get started, visit your regular GP for a free and non-invasive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Check (715), then contact the Moorditj Koort IHLP team to join our program.

What is a 715 Health Check?

A 715 Health Check is a holistic review of your health and wellbeing, completed with a nurse or Aboriginal Health Worker and reviewed by your GP. It helps identify any current or potential health needs and connects you to the right support.
