One step at a time
RACT teams across the state are getting moving – and feeling better for it.
Wellbeing doesn’t have to mean gym memberships or expensive apps. Sometimes it’s as simple as going for a walk. Inspired by staff feedback, we recently launched a new initiative encouraging team members to join local Parkruns – free, community-led 5 km events held on Saturday mornings across Australia.
On 31 May, RACT staff walked, jogged and cheered each other on at Parkruns in Bellerive, Burnie, Kingston, Queens Domain and Risdon Brook. RACT visors helped everyone spot a friendly face.

For many, it’s become a weekly ritual. “It was lovely to see so many people out early on a cold winter’s morning, all keen to do their best,” says RACT's Derek Johnson. “There was great support and a strong sense of community.”
We’ve already covered 75 km – and counting.
Whether it’s about connection, fitness or just fresh air, we’re proud to support healthy habits that go beyond the workplace.
