We're stepping up for Intensive Care

Every year, more than 200,000 people are admitted to intensive care units. Behind every one of those numbers is a person, a family, and a story that has been changed forever.

 As a team, we’re taking on the StepUp4ICU challenge, walking or running 200,000 steps to recognise every one of those patients, and the incredible ICU teams who care for them when it matters most.

Australia and New Zealand have some of the best ICU survival rates in the world. That’s no accident. It’s the result of ongoing investment in research, education, and training. But there is always more to be done to improve outcomes and support recovery after critical illness.
