Our mission: Transforming the way chronic disease is addressed.
Our work was all about getting systemic drivers of disease on the agenda, putting the community in the centre of the problem-solving process and facilitating cross-sector collaboration.
Our work was to transform
the approach to solving chronic disease:
Deep Collaboration
We built coordinated movements around specific local problems, with deep collaboration, community co-design and systems-thinking.
Changing the Conversation
We changed the conversation around chronic disease and community wellbeing through advocacy and partnership
Mentoring and Consultancy
We mentored and capacity-built dozens of existing community health organisations through free training, consultancy, conferences and years of mentor partnerships.
Project Highlight
Co-Creating Wellbeing for Refugees and Disadvantaged Migrants in Brisbane
With Asthma Australia, World Wellness Group and the Federal Department of Health
Refugees, people seeking asylum and disadvantaged migrants have limited access to the health care they need to be well-integrated in our communities. They often have complex health problems and fall through the gaps due to language and cultural barriers. One Health worked in partnership with Asthma Australia & World Wellness Health & Medical Clinic over 4 years to pilot a collaborative and community-led approach to tackling complex chronic disease issues in this disadvantaged community group, using systems mapping, community-led facilitation and co-design.
Past Projects
One Health closed doors in 2021 after 15 years of working hard to further our mission to stop the number one killer today - the rising chronic disease rates in vulnerable communities in Australia and internationally.
We worked as consultants, problem solvers and mentors with a wide variety of changemakers from local communities, NGOs and health & social services to solve complex public health issues.
