Healthwise model overview
A five-step pathway for personalised health education
Healthwise Digital Pathways outlines a practical way for health, aged-care and community organisations to shape education around older people's priorities, then connect learning with relevant follow-up and local support.
Identify → Personalise → Educate → Follow up → Engage
How the pathway works
Begin with the person. Keep information clear, relevant and connected to the support around them.
- 01
Identify
Start with priorities, questions, health-literacy needs, readiness and preferred ways to engage.
- 02
Personalise
Shape learning around those priorities, language, culture, accessibility and local context.
- 03
Educate
Share clear, accessible information to support understanding and informed conversations about healthy ageing.
- 04
Follow up
Revisit learning through relevant touchpoints and connect it with agreed family, community or care support.
- 05
Engage
Support ongoing participation with trusted people, local services and care teams.
CONFERENCE THEMES

Start with local co-design
Healthwise is an Australian-origin model intended for local adaptation. Older people, families, carers, community organisations and care teams can shape language, cultural context, accessibility, privacy, consent and follow-up. Each pathway needs to reflect local connectivity, services and care systems.
CARE BOUNDARY
Educational support, alongside local care
The pathway supports health education and engagement. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, clinical triage or emergency advice, and it does not replace local health or aged-care services.
A useful next step
Explore a local adaptation
For health, aged-care and community organisations. Start with the people and services that shape care in your setting.
