The NSW Knockout Health Challenge (the Challenge) runs twice a year. Each Challenge runs for 10 weeks and aims to motivate Aboriginal people to lose weight by living a healthy lifestyle.

The Challenge is a community-led healthy lifestyle and weight loss initiative for Aboriginal communities across NSW. Teams who register to participate (up to 30 people in each team) are supported to participate in physical and nutrition activities that will work for them, to lead a healthier lifestyle.

These activities may include weekly boot-camp style workouts, cooking classes, walking groups and educational and information sessions. Activities cater for all ages, fitness and skill levels.

Over the years, Challenges have run across the Mid North Coast.
