The Get On Track Challenge is a FREE, fun and motivating team-based physical activity and healthy eating program for all WA adults.
It provides an exciting way to help you make positive steps towards your health and explore our West Australian landscape at the same time!
As you move along the map, there are a number of landmarks that you may pass. Click on the pop ups to see more information about the landmarks and to receive health and motivational tips.
Once registered in a team of 2-8 people, your aim is to find thirty minutes of physical activity and go for 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables every day of the challenge. Log in to the interactive website to record your daily physical activity minutes and fruit and vegetable consumption.
This is a great way to organise a workplace challenge to boost the health of your staff! Whether you are from a large or small organisation, compete against teams from other departments or even other offices from around the state.
Every 10 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity you do is equivalent to travelling a distance of 1 kilometre on the challenge track.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to earn bonus km’s at the end of each week. Aim for 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables every day to get the maximum bonus. This bonus will move your team further along the track.
Explore the landmarks and surroundings of the WA outback as your teams progress is tracked on an interactive map. You can also chat with other teams in the competition and see how you compare on the leader board.
Visit the ‘Team Wall’ page to post messages of encouragement to your team mates. Congratulate them for doing well this week or ask them for tips on healthy eating! Whatever you want to say to your team mates – the Wall is the place.
The interactive challenge makes sure you and your team have a great time and provides a supportive and fun environment to help you be more physically, mentally and socially healthy.
The team environment is encouraging, helps keep you motivated and on track while you ‘virtually’ explore our great WA landscape.
Most importantly the challenge is all about having fun!

Any moderate-intensity physical activity that causes a slight, but noticeable increase in your breathing and heart rate can be counted towards your daily physical activity total. For example, walking briskly at a pace where you are able to talk but not sing.
You can also include activity that makes you huff and puff. For example, any activity where talking in full sentences between breaths is difficult.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every day.
Your physical activity also needs to be undertaken for at least 10 minutes at a time for it to count in the Get On Track Challenge. For more information on physical activity click here.
Physical activity that does not increase your breathing and heart rate may have some benefits to your health, but cannot be counted in the challenge.
Your aim for the challenge is to eat 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day, and there are plenty of great ways to do this! Introduce a new variety of fruit each week, add an extra serve of veggies to your lunch and dinner and snack on raw vegetables and fruit.
