Get Active Program

Get Active Program Managed by Womensport & Recreation Tasmania the Get Active Program aims to help people feel the benefits of being physically active in a supportive way.

The Get Active Program (GAP) is proudly managed by Womensport & Recreation Tasmania (WSRT). It is a statewide initiative that aims to enhance the health and wellbeing of women and men through involvement in physical activity, and to encourage healthy eating habits. Participants take part in a 10-week series of 2-hour workshops, the first hour of which covers such issues as motivation, stress manag

ement, self-esteem, nutrition and goal setting. The second hour is spent participating in fun physical activities which the group itself chooses. Activities such as Tai Chi, aqua aerobics, bush walking, boxing, yoga, cycling, kayaking, Nordic Walking & Zumba have all been incorporated in GAP’s, just to name a few!

🏃‍♀️ Recognition can help a great program reach even further.

For Womensport and Recreation Tasmania’s Get Active Program, winning the 2024 Active Tasmania Award was a chance to celebrate the teamwork behind a statewide program with real results.

The program is supported by a huge community, including the Tasmanian Government, the Public Health Service team, a voluntary board, partner organisations, facilitators, and more than 3,500 people who have taken part.

Since receiving the Award, Get Active Program has used footage from the Gala and the award badge in its promotional materials, helping share the achievement and inspire continued engagement.

That’s what the Tasmanian Community Achievement Awards are all about: recognising the people, groups and programs making a difference across the state. If someone comes to mind, nominate them for the 2026 Awards!
