What a TREAT!
 
A little pampering to help you keep on top of your health and wellness.

Teachers are proving to be very keen on a little pampering and a little information to help you keep on top of your health and wellness.

 

Teachers Federation Health wants to TREAT YOU to a little pampering combined with health advice, therapies and wellness activities.

 

The CEO of Teachers Federation Health, Brad Joyce is also keen to care for your wellness. A unique initiative, Teachers Federation Health is working with the peak teacher bodies to invest in teacher health and wellbeing. Now that’s in everyone’s interests!

 

So, join our MCs, Julie McCrossin and Doreen Wilson each morning Monday, 8th to Friday, 12th  to hear from leaders in their fields.  On Monday our panel of teachers talks with Geraldine Doogue AO about health, wellbeing and teaching.  On Tuesday our cancer survivors, Di Ryall and Chris Phillips talk with us about the latest developments in breast and prostate cancer.  On Wednesday hear Associate Professor Manny Noakes discussing the nutrition science behind her best-selling CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.

  

Thursday morning listen to the establishment CEO of Beyond Blue, Professor Ian Hickie, AM now head of the Brain and Mind Institute, University of Sydney.

 

Check your health - reserve your spot to take advantage of our one-stop-shop check for your eyes, your back, your voice, or assess your diabetes risk and have a general health screen. Some consultations require prior bookings. 

 

Discover how to sustain your own health and wellbeing and get more information to support your family, your colleagues, your community who are experiencing health challenges – from  Alzheimers, arthritis and anxiety disorders to ideas for managing stress.

 

Experience complementary therapies such as reflexology, kinesiology and Feldenkrais. Find out more about sustaining a healthy body and mind and join in discussion forums to share ideas about your particular health and wellbeing needs. 

 

Don’t forget to get your free remedial massage!

 

Have a go with  tai chi, belly dancing, latin dance, qi gong, tennis, golf or get started on that gym program you’ve always been meaning to do.

 

Take time out with your colleagues – relax. Try some organic wine and chill with Roger Pryor on Thursday evening 6-8pm.

 

Evenings: Tour Chinatown to find all the best Chinese ingredients as well as an authentic Peking Duck dinner, enjoy a night at the theatre with Holding the Man at the Belvoir in Surry Hills, cook up a Moroccan banquet, get a cooking lesson from Strawberry X – an Olympic chef, sit back with the Sydney Symphony at the Opera House followed by a glass of bubbly.
