Get Active Program PDF Print E-mail

The Get Active Program (GAP) is designed to encourage healthy lifestyles by helping to remove barriers that community members may have in regards to participating in physical activity over 8 to 10 weeks.

Common barriers include social isolation, lack of knowledge of opportunities, lack of self-esteem and lack of finances.
 
The program has been coordinated through a partnership between Council and Womensport and Recreation Tasmania, and Women's Health North. Sessions include motivation, stress management, personal safety, goal setting and all include a physical activity component chosen by the group such as walking, sailing, horse riding and caving.
