South Coast Prevention Team Working together with our community to achieve healthy lifestyles

Active Living

Active living promotes healthy growth and development and can benefit the whole community through greater family and social connectedness. Being physically active has many benefits including boosting your mood, reducing stress and improving sleep, whilst reducing the risk of chronic disease. The South Coast Prevention Team work with settings in Bass Coast and South Gippsland shires to promote the benefits of physical activity and to create healthy environments to work, learn and play in. This includes working with workplaces, schools and early childhood services to implement the Physical Activity and Movement area of the Achievement Program and the Active Schools framework.

Step outside and explore where you live

Getting outdoors is a great way to increase your movement and to improve your physical health and mental wellbeing. Discover new tracks, trails and groups to help you get active outdoors.
