Big steps towards better health this September

Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications

Today Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Senator the Hon Carol Brown, joined the Cairns community in the 22nd annual Walk to Work Day.

Walk to Work Day, in partnership with Diabetes Australia, encourages all Australians to walk to work, or build walking into their daily routine.

Diabetes continues to pose a major challenge to Australia’s health system with millions living with the disease every day.

Australians who walk daily tend to be healthier and have a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Given this, there has never been a better reason to implement walking into your workplace routine and inspire your fellow employees to do the same.
