The StepUp4ICU Challenge
StepUp4ICU is a community‑driven challenge supporting the future of intensive care across Australia and New Zealand.
By walking 200,000 steps, you’re helping raise funds to support life-saving research, education and training, giving ICU teams the tools they need to improve survival and recovery for critically ill patients.
Every step contributes to advancing treatment, improving recovery and supporting the ICU teams who care for more than 200,000 patients each year.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference, helping save lives and improve outcomes for patients and their families.
