Eligible participants will include hospital staff employed in Perth, Western Australia. Staff working in shift patterns and non-shift workers will be eligible to participate. No restrictions will be placed on the type of contract and number of hours worked. Eligible participants will include nurses, midwifes and patient assistants.
Individuals who have a self-reported physical condition or any physical impairment preventing them from being physically active will be excluded from the study. They will be screened using an adapted version of the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ). Staff who do not have a mobile phone that allows them to receive normal text messages, who do not have access to internet on their mobile phone, computer or tablet, who are already active (engaging in more than 150 minutes of high intensity physical activity per week outside of work), and who are currently participating in any other physical activity program (e.g. a structured weight loss program, regular meetings with personal trainer or coach) will be ineligible to participate.
