Aboriginal Go4Fun was developed in partnership with Aboriginal communities and is delivered by local Aboriginal organisations together with NSW Health.

The program encourages the whole community to join in.

Aboriginal Go4Fun includes:

Aboriginal support staff
Traditional Indigenous games
Tailored resources

Aboriginal Go4Fun takes place after school once a week for ten weeks, during school terms. It’s also run by qualified health and community professionals, but our team includes members of your local Aboriginal organisations.

You receive the same great healthy lifestyle information as the standard Go4Fun program, all delivered in a culturally tailored way for Aboriginal families and communities. Please take a look at the information in the ‘What’s involved’ or ‘Why join’ links for more details on Go4Fun.

It’s important that a parent or carer comes to every session, so your family can make the most of the program. If parents or carers can’t attend, grandparents, aunties, uncles and adult siblings are also welcome.
