About Active Launceston

UTAS LIVE LIFE


Based on the success of a pilot project in 2009 for all Launceston based staff, the University of Tasmania has agreed to take UTAS LIVE LIFE, a health and wellbeing program state-wide in 2010 (including Hobart, Launceston and Cradle Coast)

The pilot program was coordinated with support from Active Launceston.

The UTAS LIVE LIFE pilot project offered free activity sessions for staff (yoga/pilates etc), free nutrition lectures, some gym membership subsidy, free exercise science consults, free water bottles and free 2010 health and wellbeing awareness desk calendars.

A pre and post pilot project survey was completed to enable an understanding of the health of employees and to measure the impact of the pilot project. Follow the links below to view the results of the workplace health and wellbeing surveys.
