When Warnman woman and allied health worker Leah Wearne tested the suitability of a free chronic conditions service for her clients, she didn't anticipate the benefit it would have for her.

Ms Wearne is a care finder for Advocare, a WA state-wide peak body for seniors which offers support and wraparound services.

As part of her role she came across Better Health Co's telephone-based health coaching program.

"One of the things I like to do is to check it out myself before I recommend programs to my clients. So that's how I got involved. I thought I'll just give it a go, not realising that (I'd stick with it)," Ms Wearne told National Indigenous Times.

The service is available for WA residents aged 18 and over seeking support in their efforts to manage chronic health conditions to quitting smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, be more active and managing stress.

Ms Wearne has reaped the rewards.

"I started in April this year, and I'm still going," she said.

"It's initially a 10 session program. I committed to that 10 sessions, I thought 'I'm going to go through this process myself' to make sure it's an easy process and easy to understand as well for seniors to be involved."

The program has encouraged Ms Wearne to exercise more, increasing water intake, cut down on drinking, and eat healthier.

It's also an approachable, non-judgemental service.

"It's quite a flexible program. Goals are tailored to the individual," Ms Wearne said, breaking ambitions into small, achievable steps.

The long-term journey is principal.

"To be able to say, 'Look, it doesn't matter if you miss a week', and it's not rigid. There's their understanding," Ms Wearne added.

"I've gone a whole month without a consult, and we just carry on at the next available opportunity...you're not penalized...they're very understanding."

Ms Wearne's day-to-day involves a lot of outreach and connecting older people with other services they require.

Clients often don't have strong support networks around them - sometimes limited to family members.

Advocare also offers Elder abuse support.

The Better Health Coaching Service is free, state government funded, offering 10 one-on-one sessions for up to six months with a qualified health professional.

The accessibility element of the program is beneficial in regional and remote areas, including Aboriginal communities, where service delivery can be difficult.
