Methods Parallel randomised controlled trial
Participants Women and men with any type of cancer (except skin cancer) treated with curative intent. Not undergoing any active treatment at point of recruitment
Interventions Intervention participants will take part in a 12‐week lifestyle programme, during which they will wear a pedometer and will use an online resource.

Based on this information, they will be emailed weekly step count goals. The website will also include a virtual notice board, where community service organisers can advertise events and activities related to physical activity and healthy eating. Info on healthy eating will be provided based on the cancer council Australian nutrition guidelines, which supports the recommendations provided in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating
Outcomes Adherence measured by logins to the website and follow‐up telephone calls every 2 weeks, anthropometry, physical and psychological health data, physical activity, QoL, dietary habits
Outcomes measured at baseline and at endpoint (12 weeks)
