AUSactive CEO Barrie Elvish said this year\u2019s Awards Program celebrated the increased scope of the Australian health, fitness and wellbeing industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to our national and state winners! Last night was all about you and I\u2019m immensely proud of your achievements. This year we had more entries from the increasing number of modalities AUSactive supports than ever before and I can only see this continuing to grow in years to come,\u201d Mr Elvish said.<\/p>\n

Mr Elvish said state category winners were also announced at this year\u2019s National Gala for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to elevate the recognition our state winners also received this year. This saw a further 46 state awards presented last night. In all, 81 individuals, business, community groups and special award recipients were honoured in this year\u2019s AUSactvie National Awards 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, I would like to thank our sponsors, supporting businesses and our AUSactive Awards Judging Panel and team awards team. We really cannot do this without all your hard work and support!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
