The Be Well Learn Well program (BWLW) is a Department of Education program. CheckUP, in partnership with Gidgee Healing and the Apunipima Cape York Health Council, leads a strong, effective consortium to deliver targeted allied health services to support student development needs.
The aim of the BWLW program is to identify and address behavioural and learning issues to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, from pre-prep to year 12, in remote state schools.
It supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student developmental needs through the delivery of targeted speech pathology, occupational therapy, audiology, psychology, and clinical psychology services to identify and address behavioural and learning issues.
