Equally Well National Scan of Action
The Equally Well National Scan of Action is closing soon and we’re inviting program managers and service providers to contribute.
This is your opportunity to put your work on the national map.
By participating, you won’t just be sharing information you’ll be:
- promoted and profiled as part of a leading national movement
- acknowledged for your contribution to improving physical health outcomes
- positioned as a leader across research, policy and practice
- connected with others driving change across the sector.
Previous scans have featured hundreds of initiatives from walking and coffee groups to exercise classes and metabolic clinics, big or small, we want to know about it.
Make sure your work is visible, recognised, and helping shape the future impact of our shared goal for improving physical health for people living with mental health challenges.
Don’t miss this chance to elevate your work and influence the future direction of this important health issue that is saving lives.
How to participate
You have 3 options to choose from:
- complete the online survey, this will take approximately 20 minutes
- complete the survey using a downloadable word document, or
- book an online appointment with the Equally Well team to complete the survey.
Why the 2026 scan matters
People living with mental illness continue to experience preventable physical health inequities. The 2026 scan helps us to:
- understand progress since our last Scan of Action
- identify gaps, challenges and emerging innovations
- elevate lived experience alongside service and system perspectives
- strengthen shared learning and national collaboration
- inform future policy, practice and investment.
What the scan captures
The Scan of Action looks at initiatives and activities across areas such as physical health screening and care, smoking reduction, chronic disease prevention, integrated care, access and equity, workforce capability, and lived experience leadership and co‑design.
Who can take part?
Anyone contributing to physical health equity, including people with lived and living experience, community and health services, researchers, educators, policy makers and system leaders are welcome to participate in the scan.
Whether your work is established, emerging or still in progress, your contribution matters.
Sharing the scan
With your permission, scan findings will be brought together in a national summary and shared through the Equally Well website and reports, supporting advocacy, learning and continuous improvement.
Together, we can embed physical health equity in
mental health care as core business, not an add-on.
