The importance of our health and fitness sector

5/7/2022

 
Picture
In a recent Deloitte report, it indicated the health and fitness sector contributes (directly and indirectly) over $4 billion to the Australian GDP creating over 31,000 jobs nationally. 

Australian's are encouragingly attending health and fitness centres and studios to remain fit and support their mental health. 
This industry supports a reduction in absenteeism and reduces the cost on the healthcare system.

A holistic approach from a range of stakeholders such as government, industry, business and community is seen as a key to encouraging inactive individuals to become more active in a range of different exercise modes from high intensity training to restorative yin yoga.
