Free telehealth coaching for young people in Sydney
What is health coaching?
Nutrition
Want support with eating balanced meals, understanding food labels, finding healthy snack options, swapping out foods, or something else related to nutrition? Our health coaches will provide you with a clear action plan and support you to reach your goals in a way that works for you.
Alcohol or vape/smoking reduction
Want to cut back on the amount you drink, vape & smoke; or quit entirely? We understand that this is a journey, and will work with you to set realistic, manageable strategies that support you to celebrate every milestone along the way. We’ll also share additional resources from our partners that can support your goals.
Weight Management
Looking to get more active and implement an effective weight management strategy that aligns with your goals? Our health coaches will discuss your specific goals and support you to build sustainable, realistic behaviour changes that are backed by evidence and tailored around your lifestyle.
Mindfulness and Stress Management
National data shows that young people aged 16-24 now experience the highest rates of 12-month mental health disorders of any age group. If you’re experiencing stress, anxiety or burnout – you don’t have to do it alone. Our health coaches will talk through how you’re feeling and help you develop everyday strategies to support you.
Sleep Quality
Struggling to get a good night’s sleep and want support to turn things around? Our health coaches will work with you to identify strategies around screen time, night time routines and other areas that work best for you, so you can wake up feeling well rested.

Growing up can be stressful. Managing work, study, moving out of home, deadlines, your social life, and even deciding what to cook or when to move your body can feel like a lot. Add in all the health misinformation online from AI tools and Google and you've got a recipe for disaster.
With our health coaching program, you get paired with a qualified health professional who cares about supporting your health and wellbeing, and provides you the tools and resources to turn things around. It's funded by the Central and Eastern Sydney PHN and delivered by Better Health Company, so you can access it completely free!
Whether the pressures of life are burning you out, you're finding it tough to hit your nutrition goals with a tight budget and want more variety, or your sleep debt is growing, our health coaches can support you to take control of your health one step at a time.
