Steptember 25

Step towards a brighter future

We’re stepping up for Australia's biggest workplace health and wellbeing challenge. This month-long initiative aims to give babies with cerebral palsy the best start in life.

Our goal this year is to raise $15,000 to help support children with this position.

Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of your location. Whether you're a casual walker or a fitness fanatic, there are many ways you can contribute at your own pace.

Whether you form a team of up to 4 or flying solo, register today! Download the supporting Steptember app to easily track your steps, monitor your goals, and keep track of other teams on the leaderboard.

Benefits of participating

Getting involved will give you a month-long boost of energy by getting your body moving to better your physical health, lower stress levels or kickstart your fitness routine.

If competition is your biggest motivator, this website will calculate your team’s steps and stack them against others. Connect with your colleagues and dominate the leaderboards!

And most importantly, every dollar you raise supports early detection and therapy for babies and infant children with cerebral palsy, which is a worthwhile endeavour on its own.

Prepare to start counting those steps!
