Australia is quickly becoming an obese nation, with 3 out of 5 Australian adults overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese can lead several health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and hypertension. It can reduce a person’s life expectancy and even be the cause of some cancers. Losing weight by just 5-10% will reduce the risk of these health problems plus many others. A multi-strategic approach to gradual weightloss, supervised by a multi-disciplinary team is the key to success. This includes combining dietary, physical and behavioural changes.

We have a particular passion to help people with a disability in this very area.
