Achieving fitness goals is hard enough without cost of living pressures coming into play. So with gym deals aplenty, how do you pick one to suit you?

It comes as no surprise, but most people who work in this industry are highly motivated, love a challenge and almost always have a target or goal they are striving for. It can be a real challenge when you are trying to work with a client who doesn’t possess the same level of enthusiasm for creating and sustaining change.

This June advocacy update highlights AUSactive Professionals' vital role in preventive health outcomes. Our registered members empower communities with subsidised physical activity programs under Medicare, effectively combating chronic diseases. Recent studies affirm the preventative benefits of physical activity. The 2023 Federal Budget aligns with the National Preventive Health Strategy, encouraging health prevention and sports proposals. AUSactive advocates for program recognition and funding and supports public health campaigns promoting physical activity.

From today, there are just two weeks left to get entries in for this year’s award. This is plenty of time to get your submission together before it’s too late!

This edition's focus is on the future of the industry and the new emerging technology and innovation we are likely to embrace + much more!

We also held a virtual Local Government Forum to discuss health and wellbeing initiatives and services to encourage and support councils to deliver physical activity programs in their community.
