Summary
‘Be Healthy and Safe Maranoa’ evolved from existing partnerships which included Active Roma (a partnership between Maranoa Regional Council, Queensland Health, Australian Sports Commission, Department of Communities Disability Services), Maranoa Health Enhancement Program (funded organisation that delivered primary health care services) and the Department of Communities Sport and Recreation).
The initiative exists to motivate and support residents of the Maranoa to live happier and healthier lives. With a range of programs, activity and events on offer throughout the region, Be Healthy and Safe Maranoa has a vision to see an exciting wellbeing culture emerge in our community.
Be Healthy and Safe Maranoa has been recognised for its contribution to local community at the Queensland Local Government Awards and is a finalist at the 2018 Queensland Health Awards.
