A challenge has been set, pitting admin workers against nurses, in honour of the month’s ‘Steptember’ cerebral palsy awareness campaign.
The team that exceeds the 10,000 step goal by September 28 wins the ultimate office bragging rights.

An estimated 34,000 people in Australia are living with the cerebral palsy, that affects the ability to control muscle movement.
Junee is well positioned with therapy and support accessible via the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Centre in Wagga.
But that is a luxury afforded to few rural towns nationwide.
“We’re looking to raise at least $500, but mainly it’s about raising awareness for cerebral palsy and getting some exercise while we’re at it,” said admin teammate Krystal Fitzgerald.
The centre will also be selling raffle tickets with the prizes to include meat platters, supermarket vouchers and homeware bundles.
