Are you ready to be a part of Murdoch History?
Let's Move Together, Let's make it count
Murdoch Active is proud to be part of the Million Moves Challenge, powered by AUSactive - an initiative designed to get Australia moving, one step at a time.
From students, staff to the wider community, we’re inviting everyone to join our Murdoch University team as we aim to complete 1 million moves over 21 days.
Whether you’re walking, cycling, stretching, or lifting – every move counts. So, let’s encourage and support each other to move more, sit less and boost your wellbeing this September.
What is the Challenge?
From the 1st – 21st September, The Million Moves Challenge aims to collectively reach one million moves across the country – and Murdoch Active is stepping up to the plate by taking this initiative one step further and completing 1 million moves as a University team!
By joining the challenge, you’ll be contributing to a healthier, more active Australia while also supporting your own mental and physical wellbeing.
Our target is simple : if we can get 635 people to join and complete 75 moves daily for 21 days = 1 MILLION MOVES.
GO MURDOCH!
Why Join?
- Research shows that 75% of Australians are not moving enough to meet the bare minimum exercise requirements.
