Ride2Work day encourages everyday Victorians to hop on their bikes and get active on their commute to work. National initiatives such as this one assist in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle – and potentially breeding the next crop of cycling athletes!
Jemima Montag won Australia’s first medal at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, walking her way to silver in the women’s 20-kilometre walk her greatest sporting achievement to date. Yet her achievements extend much further than the track, being a natural born leader sharing her experiences with other young athletes, whilst balancing a medical degree and passions outside of sport.
The VIS is celebrating Healthy Bones Action Week to raise awareness and educate athletes and the Victorian community on the importance of maintaining strong bones for both physical performance and daily health.
To celebrate NAIDOC Week, VIS Board Member and proud Yankunyjatjara and Wirangu woman, Shelley Ware, hosted a basket weaving workshop for VIS staff to share the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
