Get Active

Active Launceston aims to get people moving and feeling great through a series of programs and events.

Active Launceston is managed by the University of Tasmania in partnership with City of Launceston.

Since 2008, Active Launceston has become a multi award-winning community driven project that has developed a strong community profile, an excellent reputation, and a highly-recognisable brand and community identity.

The projects events, programs, website, organisational structure, partnerships and levels of community engagement have gained accolades at a state, national and international level. 

Active Launceston is now delivered under a well-established framework including policies and procedures to enable successful delivery of a complex community-wide health promotion project.
