How can participants prepare?
Closed shoes
Participants should wear clothes that are comfortable for light exercise - but must wear closed shoes, there's a bit of footwork involved in boxing!

Equipment
We provide boxing pads and gloves for safe participation in program activities. They are provided to ensure compliance with WHS obligations. Without these resources, participants would be unable to safely undertake these activities or meet required safety standards. Accordingly, these items are not optional extras, incentives, or bundled add-ons, but essential equipment provided where appropriate to the participant’s individual needs. They are used as therapeutic tools to support engagement, emotional regulation, and employability outcomes and are directly linked to safe delivery and participation in the program’s development and work-readiness objectives.
