Creative Health Planning
Blue Sky View brings specialist expertise to creative health projects, backed by doctoral-level research qualifications and extensive industry experience. We work at the intersection of arts, health, and place to deliver initiatives that enhance wellbeing, support healthcare environments, and foster social connection. Our team has led projects such as the THRIVE Creative Health Forum, community wellbeing programs, and the Makeway Lab research project, which investigates how creative practice can improve health outcomes in clinical and community settings. With a strong foundation in academic research and real-world project delivery, we support health partners, governments, and cultural organisations to embed creativity into health strategies, facility planning, and program development that is evidence-informed, artistically grounded, and focused on meaningful impact.
