Queensland, let's Move Together! 👟

Sign up and get ready for the 2026 Move Together Challenge.

From 3 August to 13 September, every move you log counts towards a shared statewide total. Walk the dog, head out for a lunchtime stroll, tackle the housework or get out in the garden. It all counts.

You can take part:

✅ With family and friends
✅ As a community group
✅ Through your workplace

Even small increases in daily movement can lead to meaningful improvement in health and wellbeing. So let's move, your way.

Sign up to 10,000 Steps, invite a mate to join you for an active catch up, and let's see how many steps Queensland can achieve together. Every move counts!
