The Big Tassie Walk made it all the way to Parliament! 🏛️

Thank you to Vica Bayley MP for speaking about The Big Tassie Walk in his adjournment speech this week, and for recognising the hundreds of Tasmanians who have walked this October for a more welcoming, inclusive state.

It’s a wonderful acknowledgement of everyone who has walked, donated and shared, and of the people from migrant and refugee backgrounds who call Tasmania home. 👣

Read the speech below.

Today’s the final day to walk! Donations remain open until 30 November: bigtassiewalk.org.au

People from all across the state are doing the Big Tassie Walk to help make Tasmania a stronger, more welcoming and inclusive place.

Every step and every dollar raised is helping Gillian, Helen and the whole Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania team support people from migrant and refugee backgrounds to find their feet and feel at home here in Tasmania.

What a way to celebrate! ☀️💛

This morning, walkers, partners, staff, clients and community members came together at Montrose Foreshore for The Final Stretch of The Big Tassie Walk 2026, and the sun shone the whole way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the hundreds more who have walked wherever they are this October. You’ve shown what a welcoming Tasmania looks like, one step at a time. 👣

A big thank you as well to WIN News and 7 Tasmania for coming along to share the story.

From Launceston to Bruny Island, all for people who have travelled much further to call Tasmania home.

A big thank you to the Rotary Club of Central Launceston, who took their Big Tassie Walk all the way down south to Bruny recently! They were one of the first teams to sign up this year and have walked more than 685km together since. That’s community at its best. 🙌

For people from migrant and refugee backgrounds starting again in Tasmania, a warm welcome can change everything. It can mean finding work, making friends and finally feeling at home.

With just 2 days left, there’s still time to be part of it:
👣 Join the walk and walk 5km by Saturday
💛 Back a walker or donate to the campaign
📲 Share this post and help spread the word

Every dollar helps someone build a new life here. 👉 bigtassiewalk.org.au

Starting over in a new country takes courage. Backing someone who’s helping takes 30 seconds.

With just 3 days to go, a donation of any size could help a friend, colleague or family member reach their goal, and help someone from a migrant or refugee background build a new life here in Tasmania.

Not walking yet? There’s still time to sign up and clock up a few kilometres before Saturday. 👣

Walkers who raise $350 go into the draw for a harbour-view night for two at Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart. 🏨

A huge thank you to the team at Hotel Grand Chancellor for this generous prize, and for signing up several of their staff to walk with us! 🙌

⏳ 4 days left to win a signed Tassie Devils guernsey! 🏉

Footy fans, this one’s for you! Thanks to AFL Tasmania and the Tassie Devils, one lucky walker will take home an AFL prize pack, including a signed Tassie Devils guernsey and other AFL Tas goodies.

Here’s how to get in the draw: raise $180 or more in donations by Saturday 31 October. That’s one dollar for each of the 180+ countries of origin represented right here in Tasmania.

And it’s about so much more than the prize. Every dollar you raise helps people from migrant and refugee backgrounds find their feet, build new lives and feel at home in Tasmania.

📱 Close to $180? Send one message to a friend today. That could be all it takes!
💛 Not walking? Support a walker and help them get in the draw.

Thank you, AFL Tasmania, for supporting our community walks all month and for this fantastic prize! 🙌
