CLINICIANS HUB
Helping clinicians to provide supportive and non-stigmatising care for people living with overweight and obesity
Clinicians Hub
Clinicians Hub is here for you – our frontline health workforce. We are empowering health professionals from a range of disciplines – medical, nursing, health workers, and allied health – to address the challenges related to health and wellbeing across the lifespan. We are supporting health professionals across all levels of healthcare to talk about, identify, prevent and manage people living with overweight and obesity with confidence and impact. Clinicians Hub offers a variety of clinical tools, resources and training to help you transform health and wellbeing for children, adults and families.
Managing people living with overweight or obesity is a challenge for both individuals and the healthcare system. In Queensland, 2 in 3 adults, and 1 in 4 children, live with overweight or obesity. It is crucial that we continuously improve our approach to addressing these health challenges and empowering individuals to achieve and maintain good health.
The Model of Care outlines a systems wide approach for preventing, identifying and treating people living with overweight and obesity in Queensland.
A resource hub for prevention, early intervention and management of overweight and obesity for our on the ground workforce. Access a range of tools, information and resources to support health professionals and their patients.

Our ECHO® Learning Series brings together experts and health professionals to share evidence-based knowledge, discuss cases, and develop new professional skills in the areas of health and wellbeing.
Health and Wellbeing Queensland’s weight related terminology
We acknowledge that language plays an important role in shaping perceptions of weight and health. Based on comprehensive evidence reviews and broad consumer and stakeholder consultation, we have chosen to use the term ‘overweight and obesity’ to refer to the medical condition, and when reporting statistics.
Our commitment is to use relatable and respectful language, putting people before the condition and including positive language. We are dedicated to working together with individuals and experts to combat weight stigma and ensure our communication promotes positive, inclusive, and respectful dialogue.
Clinicians Hub is brought to you by Health and Wellbeing Queensland in partnership with Allied Health Profession’s Office of Queensland, Clinical Excellence Queensland.
