ABSTRACT
Background:
‘Wellness my Way’ is a chronic disease prevention model of care being piloted across South West Queensland, Australia, a region of high chronic disease burden. Wellness my Way is an initiative of the Queensland Government through Health and Wellbeing Queensland, delivered in partnership with Queensland Health’s Health Contact Centre and South West Hospital and Health Service, supported by multisectoral collaborations.
Objective:
Describe the development of Wellness my Way and the protocol for evaluation of the program’s Pilot implementation.
Methods:
The Wellness my Way Pilot context is reported, and the multisectoral approach and co-design activities which informed program development and implementation are described. The reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance (RE-AIM) framework will guide the evaluation. The primary outcome is the uptake (reach) of Wellness my Way. Secondary outcomes include consumer satisfaction and stakeholder experiences. Data will be derived from quantitative and qualitative measures collected from consumers and stakeholders.
Results:
Ethics approval has been granted. The Wellness my Way Pilot program within South West Queensland, Australia concludes in January 2026, with findings anticipated to be shared in late 2026.
Conclusions:
Findings will offer new insights on the impact of a collaboratively delivered program within a community of high unmet needs.
