Welcome
There is growing recognition that simply educating patients is not enough to bring about long-term health behaviour change.
Health Change Australia (in association with Health Coaching Australia) offers program implementation consultancy and professional development training in the HCA approach to health behaviour change.
The HCA Model of Health Change is a clinical practice framework for integrating client-centred communication and behaviour change principles and processes into clinical consultations and programs. It provides practitioners with an evidence-based health behaviour change clinical pathway to complement usual clinical pathways for prevention and treatment of health conditions. The purpose of the model is to increase the likelihood that clients will act in accordance with lifestyle and treatment recommendations appropriate to their health condition/s.
The HCA Model is comprised of: a foundation of six recommended knowledge and skills sets for clinicians; a set of practice principles to guide the clinical communication style, and a 10 Step framework which acts as a decision tool for clinicians to use in their consultations.
