Current pilot status
The Queensland Community Vitality Initiative pilot is currently in development and remains subject to grant approval and final partner arrangements. The current plan includes six 2.5-hour workshop intakes at two Maleny venues, with up to 20 people in each. Dates and final fees are not yet confirmed. Costs will be kept low, with special rates for seniors and pension concession card holders.
Why vitality matters
Health is more than the absence of illness.
Vitality is our capacity to take part in life with energy, connection, resilience and purpose. It grows through the choices we make, the support around us and the communities we help create.
