Celebrate International Women’s Day at PARC

#BreakTheBias with us at PARC! 

Join us as we celebrate women’s achievement and raise awareness against bias on Tuesday 8 March.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day focuses on accelerating gender parity and is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action. International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Come to PARC for FREE

At PARC we are surrounded by an amazing community of women, and men, and want to invite the community down to the facility for FREE from 8am – 3pm on Tuesday 8 March. We want to #breakthebias and break down the financial barrier of being active and enjoying recreation and time for yourself, so please come one, come all! PARC is an inclusive space to feel safe, and focus on your health and wellbeing.

Join our #BreakTheBias Workouts

We are also holding a series of #BreakTheBias Workouts, to demonstrate that being strong is for everyone. So often we see women reluctant to go into the gym and give it a go, thinking that weights and strength are ‘for men’. But let’s break this stereotype and show our community that being strong and looking after yourself is for everyone. We are offering free community events, including:

  • #BreakTheBias Strength 7.15-8.00am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE)
  • #BreakTheBias Strength 10.00-10.45am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE). Special note – This session will be led by our recently awarded Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Personal Trainer of the Year Pru Drago!
  • Join us for a quick grab and go breakfast from 8am – 10am on your way in or out of the Health Club.
  • #BreakTheBias Me Time 7pm from the comfort of your home via www.parcyourway.com.au. Yoga, Meditation and Stretch Flow to see your day out. Join LIVE and FREE via www.parcyourway.com.au/categories/live-class (no bookings required, you will just need to create a free account to log in).

Unplug24
Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

Next Friday, on Friday 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Last year, more than 134,000 people took part, proving that sometimes the most powerful connection is offline. This year, SmackTalk is aiming to reach over a million participants in Australia and around the world.

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

Register to join now: https://www.unplug24.smacktalk.com.au/

Restart a Heart Day at PARC this Saturday ❤️💙

Join us this weekend, on Saturday 18 October, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. 

Hosted by Monash University Paramedicine, this educational pop up in PARC's foyer will help build a safer, more prepared community.

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.

Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 12pm to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. 

Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!
