Health and community workers
Health and community workers play an essential role in promoting good health among Tasmanians.
On the Eat well, Move more, Be a healthy weight and Be smoke free pages of the Healthy Tasmania website we’ve gathered resources for health and community workers specific for those health topics.
Here you’ll find additional resources that relate to health and wellbeing more broadly, to help you improve the lives of your clients and community.
