Hit wellbeing goals with the Virgin Pulse GO app

UNSW Sydney staff can work in teams towards their wellbeing goals with a virtual world tour and wellbeing tracking.

We want UNSW to be somewhere you look forward to coming to every day, whether virtually or in person. We want it to be a place where healthy lifestyle choices are valued and encouraged, and where everyone feels supported. And we want to have some fun along the way.

To help us achieve this, UNSW Wellbeing are offering the Virgin Pulse GO (VP GO) health and wellbeing platform to our staff again in 2023. VP GO is a flexible wellbeing program that meets you where you're at. It's a digital health coach, a social connection to your colleagues and an activity challenge all in one. It’s designed to help you take small steps towards improving your health through friendly competition and personalised tracking of your health habits and goals.

VP GO is the ultimate health and wellbeing program personalised for you – incorporating a wealth of holistic wellbeing tools at your fingertips. Explore the VP GO video here to find out more.
