Connections matter. Close relationships with family, friends and the community provide happiness, support, security and a sense of intent.

Here are five tips for creating human connection:
1 ✨ Make eye contact with the person you are talking to (where appropriate)

2 ✨When someone is telling you something about themselves take 1-2 important parts of the information, paraphrase it and repeat it back to them so they know that you heard and understood them

3 ✨ Aim for a friendly greeting and a smile when you meet up with someone

4 ✨Express gratitude for time spent together

5 ✨ Reflect on the positives from your encounter and express plans for further interaction in the future.

Today marks one year since the new AUSactive name was launched to market and we are very proud of all the achievements we have accomplished during that time.

Most importantly, the launch was a line in the sand following the heights of COVID that signalled a new beginning and refreshed outlook for our association, our members and the Australian health, fitness and wellbeing sector as a whole.

As we celebrate our first year and look towards the festive season, it’s a great time to reflect on what we have achieved and congratulate all our individual and businesses members, staff and industry partners who have embraced our new direction and supports us so far.

When reflecting on what to include, it’s quite amazing how much we have packed into a 12-month period…and we’ve only just scratched the surface in what we are striving to achieve as your peak industry association.

A few words from our CEO, Barrie Elvish, regarding the recent data from AUSPLAY:

"Recent data from AUSPLAY has confirmed once again that going to a gym is the second most popular form of physical activity in Australia after recreational walking. Importantly, and as the sector recovers from Covid, the same report indicates that inactive Australians are considering going to the gym more than any other physical activity. The future looks bright”
