Outdoorsia is currently in development. These pages have been created to share the project’s vision with prospective sponsors and contributors.
Welcome to Outdoorsia
Think of Outdoorsia as that mate who says, “Come on, you’ve got this,” when you’re not sure where to start. We’re here to help beginners feel confident outdoors. Whether it’s your first bushwalk, a weekend camping trip, or figuring out how not to tip over your kayak on its maiden voyage.
We bring together local advice, expert tips, and community know-how to make getting outdoors easier, safer, and a whole lot more enjoyable.
Outdoorsia is powered by the support of partners and sponsors who share our belief that the outdoors should be open to everyone. Together, we’re building a community where good advice meets great adventure, because beginners don’t just need boots, they need backing.
Nationally relevant and proudly created by Outdoors Queensland, Outdoorsia helps more Aussies discover the
joy and wellbeing that comes from time spent outside.
Why Outdoorsia?
Getting outdoors is pretty simple, but for many beginners, it can feel overwhelming. Outdoorsia makes first steps simple, connecting people with trusted Australian advice and practical tips that build confidence outdoors. It’s about helping more Australians move more, feel better, and reconnect with nature. And for our partners, it’s a chance to support that movement from the ground up.
The First Steps
We all remember what it’s like to be new, that mix of excitement and uncertainty. Outdoorsia takes the guesswork out, replacing hesitation with confidence and a little know-how.
With simple tips and expert guidance, we show that outdoor experiences don’t need to be perfect. Together with our partners, we’re helping more Australians get started outdoors.
Community
Outdoorsia is more than a resource; it’s a growing community helping beginners turn curiosity into confidence. By sharing real stories, local knowledge, and expert guidance, we’re making it easier for more people to feel at home outdoors. With the support of the Outdoorsia community, you can start here and go anywhere.

OUR PROMISE
We believe every Australian deserves the confidence to step into nature. Outdoorsia is a trusted gateway for beginners, making time outdoors simpler, safer, and more welcoming, from local walks to weekend adventures. With no jargon and no judgment, we offer real advice from outdoor experts who remember their first time, too. Through step-by-step guidance, encouragement, and community support, we’re helping more people experience the joy of being outdoors and build stronger, healthier communities across Australia.
Join the growing movement of everyday Australians reconnecting with the outdoors.
Who is Outdoorsia For?
Outdoorsia connects two communities.
The beginners who want to get outdoors, and the partners who can help make that happen. It’s built for Australians eager to explore nature, get active, and feel part of something bigger, without needing expensive gear or prior experience.
For sponsors, Outdoorsia offers a meaningful way to align with a growing movement centred on wellbeing, balance, and connection to the environment.
Your support helps more people take their first confident step outdoors and places your brand at the heart of that positive change.
