Move For More: A Month to Remember on the Gold Coast

This October, our teams at Robina Private Hospital and Currumbin Clinic came together as Aurora Gold Coast to take part in Move For More, Aurora Healthcare's Mental Health Month campaign. Four weeks on, we're looking back with a lot of pride, a lot of gratitude and some big news to share.

Why we moved

Move For More had a simple goal: get people moving, get people talking, and raise funds for Suicide Prevention Australia. The message at its heart was one we believe in every day across both our sites: it's OK to ask for help.

The beauty of the campaign was that anyone could take part. Our people walked the coastline before work, took the stairs between wards, rallied colleagues for lunchtime laps and brought their families along on weekends. Big or small, every step added to something bigger.

Better together on the Gold Coast

Robina Private Hospital and Currumbin Clinic care for our community in different ways, but Move For More reminded us how much we share. Seeing teams from both sites step out side by side, in their teal Aurora shirts, was a true highlight of the month.

[Add Gold Coast highlights, e.g. joint walks or events held, number of staff from each site involved, kilometres covered, funds raised by Aurora Gold Coast, and anyone you'd like to give a special mention.]

Across the wider Aurora network, hundreds of people took part [update with final participant number and total raised]. We're proud that our Gold Coast teams were such a big part of that story.

Thank you

To every nurse, clinician, allied health professional, support staff member, family member and friend who laced up, donated or shared the campaign: thank you. You turned a month of movement into a month of meaningful conversations, and that's exactly what Move For More set out to do.

The next chapter: partnering with Suicide Prevention Australia

We're delighted to share that Aurora Healthcare is now partnering with Suicide Prevention Australia, the national peak body for suicide prevention in Australia.

Move For More helped lay the groundwork, and this partnership takes our commitment further. Together, we'll keep working to reduce stigma, encourage people to reach out early and support the broader effort to prevent suicide. Stay tuned for more on what this means for Aurora Gold Coast and our community.

Looking after each other, all year round

Mental Health Month has ended, but caring for our mental health is never confined to a single month. Small things, like a walk with a friend, a check-in with a colleague or a conversation with your GP, can make a real difference.

If October got you thinking about how you or someone you love is going, we'd encourage you to keep that conversation going.
