It’s time to Walk to Work 11 August 2023 Celebrating its 23rd year, Walk to Work Day supporting Diabetes Australia is on Friday 1st September 2023 and encourages all Australians to take part by building regular walking into their daily routines. With millions of Australians living with all types of diabetes or at risk of type 2 diabetes there has never been a better time to get walking, and start on the path to a healthier workplace and a healthier you. It’s easy to get involved! Just follow these 2 simple steps to support the campaign: 1. Get walking Walk as much as you can on Walk to Work Day – Friday 1 September 2023. 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. 2. Spread the word Ask your family, friends and work colleagues to do the same. The more people that walk, the more we can support Diabetes Australia and the 1.5 million Australians living with all types of diabetes. Walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise to build daily into your busy life and can make a big difference to your long-term health. Set your walking goal and start walking today.
