Logo for The Heart Foundation

Walk Organiser wanted for the Taigum Square shopping centre group.

Heart Foundation Walking is Australia’s largest FREE walking network. It is a social, fun and easy way for people to walk and be active.With more than one in four Australian adults (5.76 million people) doing very little or no exercise at all, Heart Foundation Walking is a great way to help people increase their physical activity.

Heart Foundation Walking is designed to help people enjoy regular physical activity. Although we encourage everyone to walk on a regular basis, we’ve designed Heart Foundation Walking to be a group program because walking in an organised group gives extra benefits.

Over the past 23 years more than 100,000 Australians have participated in a Heart Foundation Walking group.

Walk Organisers are community members who volunteer to lead their walking group in their neighbourhood or workplace. They do not need to be health professionals or have specific health or physical activity qualifications. They will receive online training and support from their Local Coordinator.

  • Complete basic online induction (up to 60 minutes)
  • Plan the walking routes
  • Promote their walk with the assistance of their Local Coordinator and the Heart Foundation
