All Caulfield staff and students are invited to join the health revolution and commit to making a healthy lifestyle change.

The Health Revolution campaign  launched by Wellbeing at Monash-OHS and Monash Sport asks staff and students  to commit to making a change in one of four key areas: physical activity, mental health, nutrition/food or general health.

Dr Vicki Ashton, Occupational Physician says there is never a bad time to make a change. "by committing to one small change from the key risk factor areas, you will not only improve the way you feel today but reduce your risk of disease. Any effort you make to improve your health is a step in the right direction, even if you encounter setbacks from time to time." Dr Ashton says.

The Health Revolution campaign further supports the Unversity's commitment to providing a healthy workplace and study environment for all staff and students.
