What Elia Wellness does

Elia Wellness is a registered Australian health promotion charity (ABN 23 384 623 487) and an initiative of Adventist Health South Pacific, launched in 2017 to develop and deliver evidence-based lifestyle medicine programs. The organization operates a whole-person health ecosystem built around a digital wellness platform (websites and mobile applications), a network of 137 active Wellness Hubs across Australia and New Zealand, and three clinical Lifestyle Medicine locations in Wahroonga, Hornsby, and Suva, Fiji. Core offerings include self-directed Lifestyle Programs (Whole-Person Health, Gut Health, Cancer Risk Reduction, De-stress and Thrive, etc.), structured 12-week clinical programs for Type 2 Diabetes and Breast Cancer Recovery, guided fitness videos, and a recipe collection, all grounded in Elia's proprietary 7 Dimensions of Wellness framework. The platform integrates with Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, Apple Watch, and Android Wear for biometric tracking, and Elia maintains an active research publication program in peer-reviewed lifestyle medicine journals.

Elia is funded primarily through tax-deductible donations (Health Promoting Charity status), membership subscriptions, clinical services delivered at partner Lifestyle Medicine Centres, and research grants and partnerships. It serves individual consumers seeking wellness improvement, patients with chronic lifestyle-related diseases (Type 2 Diabetes, Breast Cancer recovery), trained ELIA Wellness Partners and health advocates (737 trained), and corporate partners seeking employee wellness solutions. Distribution is community-led and partnership-driven: 737 trained ELIA Partners deliver programs through 137 Wellness Hubs face-to-face or online, while accredited clinic partners (ELIA Lifestyle Medicine Centre at Sydney Adventist Hospital, Sanctuary Lifestyle Clinic in Hornsby, Hope Clinic in Fiji) and insurers (ACA Health Benefits Fund) deliver clinical interventions. The organization is headquartered in Wahroonga, NSW, with operating geographies spanning Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, and is wholly owned by The Trustee of ELIA Wellness Trust, a division of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
