25.01.2022 ***Project update for Active Neighbourhoods for Older Australians*** Project to proceed but with some changes. In consultation with Sport Australia, Musculoskeletal Australia (MSK) is proposing that the ANOA project proceed and still finish at the end of 2020. In the coming weeks, MSK will need to put forward a revised budget and project plan to Sport Australia due to the interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty around when Neighbourhood Houses and Centres will be able to fully re-open.

13.01.2022 We were so happy to hear how much positive response Nazareth Catholic Community has received for their online delivery of their ANOA program! Due to the current challenging circumstances, we have been so impressed by the efforts of many Neighbourhood Houses to deliver virtual programs where possible, to ensure the ongoing promotion of physical activity and community connection. Nazareth Catholic Community (NCC) has developed DVDs with Tai Chi exercises for their participan...ts to do at home, along with some chai latte sachets to keep with their Tai Chai theme. They have received an overwhelmingly positive response from participants, with many commenting that they have been exercising even more (some doing the program every day) and have encouraged their partners to join in too! This video is of some students helping NCC deliver the DVDs to participants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCOAnmUPrcY
