About this report

The Living Healthy Reports (2022–2026) are produced by Healthylife’s Health Advisory Board. Healthylife is a Woolworths Group business, and these evidence‑based documents provide an annual ‘pulse check’ on Australians’ health, focusing on health promotion and disease prevention. Their themes reflect the key health challenges and opportunities relevant to their societal times, with the Advisory Board’s thoughts on what ‘next steps’ could be taken to benefit Australians’ health. The reports combine key statistics with unique Woolworths Group data and initiatives that support health, making useful reference guides for partners and policymakers.

The aim is for these to support good health and make it easier for us all to include healthy habits in our daily lives, aligning with both the Healthylife purpose: To help everyone to live their healthy life, and the Woolworths Group purpose: We create better experiences together for a better tomorrow.

The health confidence reality check

The Living Healthy Report 2026 presents the inaugural Healthylife National Health Confidence Survey, over 1,000 Australians that uncovers our level of confidence to look after our health. We compare this confidence with reality, diving into an emerging ‘health confidence disconnect’ The report examines what this means for lifestyle related disease prevention and the Advisory Board suggests steps to help build a healthier Australia.
