Hi, it’s James here, the founder of Health Stack.
I’m passionate about a lot of things like surfing, scuba diving, eating delicious food and improving our healthcare system so that we can really look after our friends and family.
That’s why I created Health Stack – a better way to manage injuries and improve employee wellness in the workplace.
Did you know that Australia is actually one of the best country at providing care around serious issues or accidents, like a car accident, broken bone, heart attack or stroke? You’ll get the immediate care needed to keep you alive. The real challenge Australians face is aftercare, the bit that keeps us not just alive, but living.
My mum was diagnosed with a chronic lung condition 12 years ago. It’s a condition that if not managed correctly, she’d need to wheel an oxygen tank around with her wherever she’d go. I wanted more for her.
Her doctors gave her medication and said phrases like ‘you’ll be on these for the rest of your life’ or ‘this is your only choice to keep you alive’. They didn’t look at her whole picture, they didn’t tell her to stop smoking. They just addressed the immediate problem in front of them and moved on.
This is what motivated me to create a different approach.
I’m a Physiotherapist and an Exercise Physiologist with a Master’s degree from Griffith University.
I worked in practice as both a physio and exercise physiologist for 10 years. I’ve travelled the world working alongside the athletes of Cirque Du Soleil and it really opened my eyes.
With this first-hand knowledge of how other countries were managing their healthcare systems, along with the latest research, I’ve built a business that focuses on value-based care. On delivering that care when people need it most, care that’s serviced by a multidisciplinary team, in a format that is easily accessible.
I was sick and tired of seeing patients having unnecessary surgery or having to give up things they loved because of other recommendations from health professionals. So now I’m working alongside a diverse team of Doctors, Physios, Meditation Coaches, Dietitians and more to educate our clients on prevention.
If you want your staff to access the latest information and research on how to be the best possible version of themselves, you’ve come to the right place.
Health Stack works with businesses to deliver value-based care to staff. We provide access to quality care through a range of different stackable modules, helping them to be the best possible version of themselves.
By doing this, businesses also win. Staff are healthier, happier and more productive.
Health Stack is not about the traditional ‘fee-for-service’ model, but rather a ‘fee-for-outcome’ model instead.
We understand the frustration and difficulties of the traditional approaches to employee health, especially under the workcover model.
Health Stack is the simple workplace healthcare solution you’ve been looking for.
We keep you and your staff in control, keep your insurance premiums down and provide a tailored stackable approach to improving employee wellbeing.
Health Stack is changing the game for healthcare and workers across the nation. Reach out to us today to find out how we can help your business and employees thrive.
