UQ Healthy Living

UQ Healthy Living is an over-50s allied health and wellness centre in Toowong, Brisbane, supporting physical, mental, social and cognitive wellbeing. Open to the public, it suits people who want to maintain or improve their quality of life, build fitness, manage the impact of chronic conditions, support their mental health or stay connected with others.

Its interprofessional approach brings several services together, including physiotherapy, clinical exercise physiology, psychology, occupational therapy, audiology, counselling and restorative care. There are also health assessments, independent exercise through the Members Studio, supported group exercise sessions, yoga and hearing assessments. Programs, seminars and workshops add opportunities for learning and connection, with examples including diabetes, arthritis, gentle yoga and carer-focused sessions. The centre says each person’s pathway begins with a Health Assessment, which can help guide the next step.

The Toowong location is across the footbridge from Toowong Village and opposite Toowong Station, around 6km from Brisbane’s CBD. It is accessible by bus, train, CityCat, car, bike and on foot, with on-street parking available nearby. For over-50s looking for coordinated health support rather than a single service, UQ Healthy Living offers a broad, practical starting point.
