Activity program
The program has been developed in partnership with three organisations - University of Canberra, Multicultural Hub of ACT, and the Healthcare Consumers Association and is supported by the ACT government through a Healthy Canberra Grant. A unique and significant feature of the project is the engagement of multicultural community leaders to co-design and guide this work. Our aim is to promote physical activity and social connection for women from multicultural communities with a focus on activities and resources that are community-based and culturally appropriate.
The Active Beginnings program is designed for multicultural women of childbearing age to:
- improve their health and well-being,
- make new friends,
- connect to social supports,
- access physical activity resources in the ACT.
For more information about the co-design team, please visit Our people.
There are many types of activities to choose from each week. Join one or all! Activities can help you:
- move your body in different ways,
- improve your mental well-being,
- make new friends,
- learn a new activity and exercise.
