Mary-Anne Thomas present on the government\u2019s commitment to prevention in the diabetes space and the impact that our program has had in our community over the past 15 years. We also heard from one of our <em><em>Life!<\/em><\/em> graduates Luana on her journey with the <em><em>Life!<\/em><\/em> program and how her learnings have become a mainstay in her attitude towards her health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a fantastic day to reflect and celebrate on the incredible achievements of everyone who has made our program what it is today; our staff, our facilitators and providers, the Victorian Department of Health and last but not least, our participants. We\u2019ve helped over 75,000 Victorians improve their health to become the best versions of themselves. That\u2019s thousands of mindful nutrition habits created, countless hours of endorphin-boosting physical activity, and hundreds of smiles built from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the event on the day. And thank you to everyone for your ongoing support, we couldn\u2019t have done it without you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3482\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0252-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0252-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0252-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0252-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0252.jpg 1504w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Life!<\/em> Event at Parliament House Melbourne, 4th October 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3484\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0185-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0185-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0185-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0185-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0185.jpg 1504w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Life!<\/em> Event at Parliament House Melbourne, 4th October 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"3483\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0135-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0135-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0135-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0135-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifeprogram.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Life_Parliament_2023_DSC_0135.jpg 1504w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Life!<\/em> Event at Parliament House Melbourne, 4th October 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday 4 October, we celebrated a very special occasion for the Life! program and Diabetes Victoria with our &#8217;15 years of Life!&#8216; celebration, held in the beautiful Queens Hall at Parliament House.
