ABOUT

StepUp4ICU is a bi-national fundraising challenge supporting the future of intensive care across Australia and New Zealand.

Each year, more than 200,000 people are admitted to intensive care units. Behind every one of these admissions is a person, a family and a story.

By taking on the StepUp4ICU challenge, walking or running 200,000 steps, you are recognising every one of those patients and the incredible teams who care for them.

Australia and New Zealand have some of the best ICU survival rates in the world. This is made possible through ongoing investment in research, education and training. But there is always more to be done to improve outcomes and support recovery after critical illness.

Funds raised through StepUp4ICU help advance life-saving research, support education and educator scholarships for ICU professionals and provide opportunities for the next generation of intensive care leaders.
