Be A Face Of The 2025 Active Living Census!

The Active Living Census (ALC) is a region-wide survey conducted by Healthy Loddon Campaspe that asks residents in our region about their health and wellbeing. No other region in Australia has this type of data at this level of detail.

The survey looks at things like:

• How often people play sport or are physically active
• What they eat and drink (like fruit, vegetables, water, and sugary drinks)
• Smoking and gambling habits
• How happy people feel about their lives, and
• What stops people from being healthy and active

This information helps schools, sporting clubs, community groups, government, and local leaders make better decisions about health programs, new recreation spaces, and services. It also helps the community to get funding to make the region a healthier place for everyone.

Check out the reports from the last time the ALC was conducted HERE.

The Active Living Census really wants to get responses from people from across our region, so we can ensure that residents from all local communities are well represented in the promotion of the survey.

Anyone who registers will have a chance to be involved. To make sure we have a good mix of people from all walks of life, we will select people that represent our community across age, gender, cultural background and where they live.

Up to 20 people in a variety of settings will be featured in the promotional material for the Active Living Census.

Participants will be filmed and photographed participating in a number of everyday activities such as walking, swimming, cycling, sitting at a dinner table, watching TV, chatting with others, or using a computer or phone. Participants will be asked to say words from a script to camera and pose for still photos.

We're looking to feature residents of all ages in the promotion. Please note, children under the age of 18 years will require parental consent to be involved.

Filming locations will be Boort in Loddon Shire, and Bendigo in Greater Bendigo.

You must be available for filming during the day on Wednesday or Thursday April 2 and 3, 2025. You will only be required on one of these days. The day will be confirmed closer to the filming time.

Filming will take place in Boort on one day, and in Bendigo on the other day Participants will need to make their own way to the filming location.

You will be provided with food and drink whilst on location.

The Active Living Census team will receive all submissions and select the representatives.

Images will be used across all Active Living Census promotional material including TV ads, media, online advertising, social media, posters, websites, and magazines.

All participants will receive a $100 gift card to thank them for their time and effort.
