2022 SHIFT Economic Feasibility Project
Health Futures Australia was successful in being funded from the Victorian Government’s Fast Track Innovation Fund to develop a Business Case, Investment Proposition, and Facility Design for SHIFT in 2022. These documents illustrate two separate but connected businesses, SHIFT Healthy Services (include SHIFT Kitchen) and SHIFT Healthy Farms.
These unique propositions bring public and population health together with climate mitigation, and systems re-imagining and change, with a focus on the food systems for our secure food future. For more information on how we can help your organisation contact us.
We do this through:
- Masterclasses and Workshops
- Coaching and Mentoring
- Wellbeing Innovation & Design Labs

Masterclasses and Workshops.
We invite you to imagine and re-design for a health and wellbeing future through our series of master classes.
Our three-session programs are tailored for and targeted at specific sectors, grappling with their role and impact to build profound and lasting change which is social, economic, healthy, and sustainable.
Partner Programs.
Partnering also recognises the broad skills and expertise a group of partners can bring together for greater firepower and impact.
As example, we are partnering with the Central Highlands Association of Neighbourhood Houses in Victoria to create a Wellbeing Script, and ultimately a strengthened role as health and wellbeing hubs in communities.
