WHAT WE DO
_

The Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF) has been supporting and building patient communities for more than 20 years and, today, is reaching patients across the world. GHLF and GHLF Australia have three tenets for development of patient-centred healthy living; advocacy, education and patient-centred research.

PATIENT ADVOCACY
_

Elevating patient voices

We believe that patients need to participate in all conversations that relate to access to treatment, safety or the quality of their care. At GHLF Australia, we raise the voice of chronic illness patients and their caregivers by focusing on advocacy priorities at the community, state and federal level.

PATIENT EDUCATION

Helping patients access health information

With so much health misinformation on the internet, we’re committed to equipping patients and their loved ones with evidence-based information and useful advice to help them in daily life.

GHLF Australia provides valuable resources and programs to help people with chronic illness feel connected to a community that understands them. We share information about living with various conditions, managing pain, accessing health services, COVID-19, vaccinations, health research and much more.

OUR PROGRAMS
_

Building programs to support patients

GHLF Australia is building programs and resources to support those with chronic health conditions including respiratory diseases, organ transplants, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, and neurological disorders. These are developed with the input of top health experts and our Patient Community Council.

We are also building a library of vaccination facts and resources to meet the need for knowledge, patient confidence and readiness for immunisation against vaccine-preventable diseases. Our immediate task is to support the vulnerable by building support networks and user-friendly education and information that is easy to digest and share.
