As an independent health promotion charity, Victoria Walks advocates for safe, accessible and connected environments that support and encourage walking. We mobilise walkers, supporters, champions and system influencers to promote all types of walking – recreational, incidental and active travel.Established in 2009, our work builds on our history and strengths and we prioritise activities that will have the greatest influence on walking and walkability. We aim for scalable, systemic impact: anything we do on a small-scale or local neighbourhood level has potential for wider application. We offer leadership, independent expertise and advice to all levels of government and make timely and evidence-based contributions to influence policy and practice. We focus our efforts on influencing for transformative change in organisations, where walking and walkability is prioritised as a strategic response to the issues and agendas they are confronting. In everything we do, we demonstrate the critical role physical activity plays in our health, wellbeing and economic productivity.
