Heart Foundation Walking
About us
Here at Heart Foundation Walking we work every day to achieve our goal – an Australia free of heart disease. We do this by building and supporting a community of walkers. Our program is Australia’s largest free walking network, and offers Australians multiple ways to walk with us.
How did we get here?
For over thirty years, the Heart Foundation Walking program has helped over 300,000 Australians start walking and stay walking. We started life in Queensland as the Just Walk It program in 1995, and now have walking groups right across the nation.
We want more Australians to walk more often, as it’s one of the best things we can do to protect our hearts.
