Healthy Tasmania

We fill the gaps! We create whatever is needed to build connections between people who need help and people who provide help. We run programs. We manage events.

We started Healthy Tasmania to help people live the best life they can. We want to help Tasmanians improve their health, strengthen their life skills, to live in communities that are thriving economically and socially and be as passionate about Tasmania as we are. Healthy Tasmania works with community partners to build capacity, improve equity and inclusion, and promote pride of place; our motivation is to make communities thrive. We design, build and deliver projects to improve the life skills of Tasmanians. We write policy. We organise people. We find money. We’ll do the work, we’ll manage the process, we’ll fix your headaches, we’ll make you look good and we’ll share positive stories broadly to get your brand the recognition it deserves. Get in touch to find out how we will make it happen.

Ahh, that time Lucy and Hayden joined the North Melbourne Football Club....... with Healthy Tasmania as partners in delivering their Huddle Program in Devonport - and of course nailed the classic crossed-arms footy pose.

We loved the program then, and love the memory now.

Ooo yes, we’re feeling this one right now.

We’ve often talked about our community wide programs as our babies - built with love, care and plenty of learning along the way.

Now, it’s time for them to spread their wings.

They’re in great hands with local councils and communities who’ll keep shaping, adapting and growing what’s been started.

Roots given. Wings earned. Off they go.

What a time we’ve had on the front line!

From the very first Active Launceston and Healthy Hobart session, we’ve been there - helping Tasmanians move more, connect more, and feel better.

We assessed the need, developed the partnerships, found the funding, developed and delivered, evaluated and shared... oh... so many stories. Together, these two programs have a total attendance rate of almost 55 000 through community-driven, council-supported initiatives that continue to change lives.

As we’ve been going through the archives, one thing’s clear, we’ve had fun! Eighteen years of Active Launceston and nine years of Healthy Hobart have shown just how powerful a well-supported community program can be.

We’ve made the hard decision that now is the right time to step away from the day-to-day management and transfer the ongoing stewardship to the local councils. This was always the long-term plan for them to be embedded and sustainable, and we’re so so proud to see the legacy living on.

Every time these programs pop up on our socials or in our local park or hall, we’ll be cheering loudly from the sidelines or joining in - whether it’s a boot scoot, bike ride or boot camp.

While we’re stepping back from daily delivery, we're leaning in to help communities set up their own programs though our Healthy and Connected Communities framework™ and make sure they get it right from the start.

Programs like George Town, that we established in partnership with council 6 years ago, continues to go from strength to strength, proving that when community health is owned locally, the ripple effects are powerful.

They’re also urgent.

The future of health in Tasmania depends on what happens long before someone walks into a hospital. We’ll only ease the pressure on the acute system when we make preventative health a priority. This⬇⬇ is how we do it: make it easy, make it community-centred, make it part of Tasmanian life.

In a small state like Tassie, we know what’s possible - healthier, more connected communities. If your community wants to kickstart its own community-wide initiative, let’s chat. We’d love to help you make it stick.

Being accurate matters - that’s why we need good data, collected well and baked in from the start.

But data alone won’t cut it. Resonance is what turns information into influence. And the only way to make sure our impact data resonates is to get in tune with the people who need to understand it.

That means taking the time to know them - asking better questions, reflecting on what’s happening in their world.

Do that, and you don’t have to cross your fingers hoping they’ll read the numbers right. You already know how to make your impact matter… to them.

One of our all time fav photos! That moment at a Neighbourhood Houses Tasmania Conference when one of our community participants, Casper, stepped into be our promo guy! Love your work Casper!

You might already have a spreadsheet filled with numbers, percentages and graphs. Maybe what’s missing is one more column - the column for stories.

It's your stories that brings those numbers to life. While data shows the scale, a story makes it matter. When you bring the two together, your impact becomes visible, memorable and impossible to ignore.

Just found this ripper in the archives - could've have been our Album Cover....

Throwback Thursday to the early days of Healthy George Town ! We love seeing this community wide program continue to go from strength to strength. It’s always a joy when we catch a glimpse of programs we once worked alongside in those early days - helping get things moving for 12+ months before they grew into their own. It’s a reminder that the best outcomes come from collaboration, and we’re proud to have played a small part in a much bigger story.

Our Story

Healthy Tasmania was founded by us, sisters Lucy Byrne and Penny Terry who grew up in a rural community in Tasmania.

We call ourselves ‘community organisers’. We specialise in getting people working together to make good changes happen.

We work a little like the builders product ‘no more gaps’. While there are a lot of services available to help people and a lot of people who need those services, there is often a gap in the middle. We operate in the gap, working on a wide range of projects to make that connection happen; ultimately improving the individual, social and economic health of our communities.

We train, we create, we advise, we mentor, we strategise, and we speak. We show people and organisations how to feel valued and get others to value them, through effective storytelling.
