• A feed with the mob
• 1hr workshop unpacking a health topic

• A chance to get your hands on Clothing The Gaps merch

Can I bring my kids?

We love seeing kids taking part in programs, it's never too early to start those healthy habits! Kids under 16 years of age require a guardian to supervise their participation.

I'm not Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Can I still participate?

Whilst Wellah Together is a program for mob, we do understand that there are non-Indigenous people who are a part of the Community. For example parents/guardians of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Our aim is to create culturally safe spaces for mob. If you'd like to join our program, we just ask you to share with us why you'd like to participate :)

What do I need to bring to each session?

For each session we'd like you to please bring a water bottle and comfy shoes and clothes to get moving in :)

What happens if I miss a session?

Don't worry! We understand that life happens and you may not be able to make every single session. We hope to see you attend as many sessions as you can :)

I missed the first week. Am I still allowed to join?

Yes of course! Whether you join us in week one or week six, you're always welcome to join the mob and have the most fun shaking up your health and wellbeing.

How do I earn a NAIDOC singlet?

All you have to do is attend 4 out of the 6 sessions to earn your very own NAIDOC singlet. If you miss a session, there will be plenty of other opportunities to earn your singlet such as attending Parkrun and other activities.

How do I earn other Clothing The Gaps merch?

There will be plenty of opportunities to get your hands on other deadly Clothing The Gaps products. These include but are not limited to completing weekly challenges, providing feedback and lucky door prizes.

What does the FREE NAIDOC registration involve?

Everyone who joins Wellah Together will get a free registration into our annual NAIDOC moving event. This includes a medal and bib.

We will be taking mob to the NAIDOC running event happening in Wyndham Vale on Sunday 9th of July.

What is involved in the fitness testing?

We will be doing fitness testing in week one and six.

Please don't stress about the fitness testing. We are just measuring change so we can work towards our best self. This includes movements such as push ups, squats and other movements.

I'm a little worried about the group workouts. What should I do?

Worried about the fitness testing or the group workouts? Don't be! We have options for all fitness levels and mobilities.

If you have any concerns, please let us know so we can look after you :)

Will there be food provided?

Yes! We know mob love a good feed. We will be providing a light and healthy dinner for after our group workout. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements or allergies in your registrations so we can cater for you.
