Calendar

The Workplace Wellness Calendar is a resource that includes dates and suggested activities for many health awareness initiatives in Australia. These are suggested topics and activities only. Health Co-ordinators will develop yearly plans based on their local needs.

This calendar is a tool to give coordinators ideas about what activities align with monthly themes or events that are on and what participation activities could accompany this.  Included also is a couple of e-resources, and a mix of seminars, group participation or individual sessions.

The calendar may help workplace health coordinators to develop events based on the local needs of their workplace, and help develop activities that align with monthly health themes or events. The calendar includes resources and a mix of seminars, group participation and individual sessions.
