Please Note: Walk to Work Day 2020 has been postponed due to COVID-19 to Friday 1 September 2023
What is Walk to Work Day?
Walk to Work Day, on Friday 1 September 2023, helps employers and employees build regular walking into their daily routine and, at the same time, support a worthwhile cause. This year, the event continues to support Diabetes Australia.
Diabetes Australia Walk to Work Day promotes regular walking as a healthy activity and that will help people reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes (better physical, mental and social health) and raise funds for Diabetes Australia.
It's easy to get involved!
Just follow these 2 simple steps to support the campaign:
- Get walking! Walk as much as you can on Walk to Work Day – Friday 3 September 2021.
If you can't walk all the way, use public transport and get off the bus, train, tram or ferry a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way to work or take a half-hour walk at lunchtime.
Walk in a group or individually – all walking helps support this important message. - Spread the word! Ask your family, friends and work colleagues to do the same.
PUT YOUR FEET FIRST AND MAKE WALKING WORK FOR YOU!
