Healthy Active Worksite Program

Kinect Australia and Andrology Australia (Monash University) developed a worksite-based physical activity and health program within 2 local governments, funded by the Australian Department of Health and Ageing. The aim of this program was to assist employees to become more physically active and to better understand the links between physical activity and health. The key features of this program were telephone health coaching and a dedicated website.

The program was tailored to the needs and requests of each workplace. Consultation was conducted with both management and participants to ensure it fit into the workplace culture, policies and procedures of each council.

Prior to inception of the program, volunteer focus groups were conducted to can learn about what sort of information participants wanted to receive about health and physical activity and how they would like to receive that information.
