Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What will happen once I’m accepted into the program?

When you begin the Seniors Lifestyle Victoria program, a care coordinator will get in touch to learn about your health and wellbeing needs. Together, you’ll create a personalised plan that outlines your goals and the types of support that could help you reach them. This might include physical activity, nutrition guidance, medication support, social connection, and other services tailored to you. Your coordinator will then help you access these supports. The aim is to help you stay active, strong, independent, and connected in your community.

What if I already see an allied health professional - can I still join?

Yes. The program complements existing care. Your coordinator will work with you and your current health care team to ensure the program supports your goals without duplicating services.

Will participating interfere with my current treatments or medications?

No. The program is designed to work alongside your current treatments. Medication management support is available, but any changes will always be discussed with your healthcare team.
