Promoting Physical Activity at Work
The workplace is a key setting to increase the physical activity levels of Tasmanians.
The workplace is identified as a key setting in the Tasmanian Physical Activity Plan to increase physical activity levels of Tasmanians. In 2006, the Premier’s Physical Activity Council (PPAC) first commenced activities in workplace physical activity where it was discovered that he most effective way to improve physical activity levels in workplaces was to take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing and address other risk factors such as smoking, mental health and nutrition, in addition to physical activity. As a result, PPAC with support from WorkCover Tasmania, developed Get Moving at Work: A resource kit for workplace health and wellbeing programs.
To further support workplaces improve the health and wellbeing of their employees, PPAC has developed a bi-monthly eNewsletter to share the latest information about resources, event and case studies relevant to workplace health and wellbeing. If you are interested in joining this network, please email ppac@getmoving.tas.gov.au with “subscribe to workplace eNewsletter” in the subject line or phone 1800 252 476.
