Australasian University Health Challenge

The Australiasian University Health Challenge (AUHC) is a health-focused initiative where staff and students increase their daily physical activity and improve their health and wellbeing. Universities across Australia and New Zealand have teamed up to provide staff and students with an opportunity to increase their physical activity through a fun and exciting inter-university competition. It's not about following a strict exercise or training regime, it's just about making the effort to move more.

When?

Registration is open now.

The AUHC starts on 31 August and runs until 11 October.

Can I participate as an individual?

Sure you can! If you just want to be a part of the broader 'Team UNSW', then follow the steps above and you're ready to go.

How do I join or create a team?

If you want to participate as part of a team, you can do that too!

Teams will be of four people, just like the Local Challenge. However, the process for team registration is a bit different:

  1. Gather your chosen teammates
  2. Each team member needs to individually register as a participant on the 10,000 Steps website (as described above)
  3. Collect your team details:
  • Team Name
  • Team Captain
  • Team Captain email address
  • Team members' names
  • Team members' email addresses
  • Email the team details to wellbeing@unsw.edu.au

     

 We will then set up your team for you in the system and you'll all be ready to go!
