Background:
Wellness my Way is a chronic disease prevention model of care being piloted across South West Queensland, Australia, a region of high chronic disease burden. Wellness my Way is an initiative of the Queensland Government through Health and Wellbeing Queensland, delivered in partnership with Queensland Health's Health Contact Centre and South West Hospital and Health Service, supported by multisectoral collaborations.
Objective:
This protocol aims to describe the development of Wellness my Way and the protocol for evaluating the program's pilot implementation.
Methods:
The context for the Wellness my Way pilot and the multisectoral approach and co-design activities that informed program development and implementation are described. The RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework has guided the evaluation. The primary outcome is the uptake (reach) of Wellness my Way. Secondary outcomes include consumer satisfaction and stakeholder experiences. Data were derived from quantitative and qualitative measures collected from consumers and stakeholders.
Results:
Ethics approval has been granted. The Wellness my Way pilot program within South West Queensland, Australia, concluded in January 2026, with findings anticipated to be shared in late 2026.
Conclusions:
The findings will offer new insights on the impact of a collaboratively delivered program in a community with high unmet needs.
