Founded by North Queensland Local Government Authorities, North Queensland Sports Foundation (NQSF) is a unique and dynamic organisation that connects North Queensland resources and communities to increase physical activity and promote health and wellbeing across Northern Queensland. 

Move It NQ was originally developed by the North Queensland Sports Foundation in partnership with the NQPHN in 2018 as a strategy to improve the health and wellbeing of Northern Queensland communities and support healthier and active lifestyles through the delivery of evidence-based physical activity programs. 

Since then, Move It NQ has evolved to take a place-based approach to program delivery, some subsidised (or free) community events,  and now provides members of the community with access to directories of physical activity programs, sports clubs, and freely accessible sport or physical recreation relevant resources to help our communities thrive. 

The Move It NQ app is only possible due to funding from the Queensland State Government’s ActiveKit Grant Program.
