September Healthy Intel

The results for the Great West Aussie Adventure are out! Shire of Mt Marshall wins the challenge, and sector covers total of 302,976kms! We saw participation from 59 members and over 800 participants.

A small team of five from Mt Marshall took out the top spot with the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River coming in second.

A shout out to the City of Mandurah, whose team of 60+ participants clocked up the most total distance covered – 24,945kms (Average distance = 408kms).

The team at the Shire of Mt Marshall are delighted to take home the win for the Great West Aussie Adventure. With all staff members invited to participate, we saw a range of employees sign up for the challenge. From members of our administration team right through to our caravan park  caretaker and Shire librarian. It was a lot of fun to be involved in a WA local government collaboration while moving our bodies and having fun along the way. We remained motivated by keeping each other accountable for our daily activities. Our caravan park caretaker, Meldy took on the captain role and continued to encourage the team to keep moving and to remember to log our activities." - Shire of Mount Marshall

We also talk about the hidden disabilities sunflower movement and how can individuals support people with hidden disabilities within their workplace.

In Australia, 1 in 6 (4.4 million) people live with a disability. What many people don't know is that 90% of the 4.4 million people living with disability in Australia are living with an invisible disability.

The sunflower symbol can connect organisations and communities across borders if proper awareness is spread.

For this month's recipe, we have protein-packed spiced chicken with couscous, perfect for spring season.
