Get Active for Better Mental Health During Multicultural Health Week
Multicultural Health Week is being held from 31 August to 6 September 2026, providing an opportunity to focus on the importance of health and wellbeing in our diverse communities.

Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, improve mood, increase energy levels and support overall wellbeing. Whether it’s joining a local sporting club, taking a walk, cycling with family or participating in community recreation activities, every form of movement can make a positive difference.
