Taking steps towards a healthier you

Want to feel better, have more energy and maybe even live longer? Getting active can be simple, affordable and fun and has benefits for everyone.

Australian perspective

Today, more than half the Australian adult population is not active enough to maintain good health. With obesity, heart disease, diabetes and depression on the increase, there has never been a better time to get moving.

The good news is that it’s never too late to become active. Beginning or resuming activity at any age will benefit your health.

If you have a medical condition, are overweight, over 40 years of age or have not exercised regularly for a long time, see your health practitioner for medical advice before increasing your activity. They can help you design an activity plan that is safe and helpful to your individual needs.
