Our organisation is committed to enhancing the health, fitness and wellbeing of our staff. This website is devoted to that objective.

Whilst workplace costs attributable to poor safety are coming down, the costs associated with poor health are going up. This rising tide of poor health in our workplaces is consistent with the increase in poor health within our community generally.

Our over-riding objective is to engage, encourage and support our staff in keeping themselves fit and healthy to the best of their ability.

We believe that healthy people and healthy organisations go together.

We acknowledge the benefits that accrue to our staff, our organisation and our stakeholders when staff are fit and healthy.

Our commitment to enhancing the status of the health, fitness and wellbeing of our staff has been stimulated by the knowledge that as safety standards have improved, health standards have declined. We are concerned to minimize the risks to our staff and our organisation that attend poor health.

We acknowledge that in a sedentary society it's a big ask expecting to stay healthy without keeping oneself fit. We also believe that its a big ask expecting people to get better by having someone do something to them; sooner or later they have to do something to themselves.

Whilst on the one hand we acknowledge that health, fitness and wellbeing are largely personal matters, on the other hand we recognise that as an employer we have a responsibility not to let workplace practices and culture build barriers that discourage staff from keeping themselves fit and healthy.

At the same time as building a firewall between privately generated body system dysfunctions and work-related injuries we are committed to encouraging and supporting our staff to keep themselves fit and healthy to the best of their ability.

In an age of increasing poor health, we are cognizant of our community responsibility to promote the cause of health, fitness and wellbeing.

Our commitment to health is based on the sound evidence that it benefits our staff and our organisation.
