May 21, 2025

 

AUSactive is proud to announce a new partnership with Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) to offer its professional and student members a discounted rate of 15% off RRP for high-quality First Aid and CPR training:

AUSactive members can now access significant discounts on SMA’s nationally recognised training programs, designed to build confidence and capability in managing emergency situations.

SMA CEO Jamie Crain said the new partnership was about supporting ongoing, contemporary education and equipping professionals with vital skills:

“Sports Medicine Australia is pleased to partner with AUSactive to deliver Nationally Recognised Training for AUSactive members, supporting the continuous education of those working across active-health, fitness and exercise industry. Both our organisations are deeply committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Australians through knowledge, education and safe participation in exercise. This partnership is a strong reflection of that shared purpose and mission.”

AUSactive CEO Barrie Elvish welcomed the collaboration, saying it provides direct and tangible value to AUSactive’s members while reinforcing industry standards.

“We are delighted to join forces with Sports Medicine Australia to provide our members with more affordable access to First Aid and CPR qualifications. Safety is a non-negotiable in our industry. Equipping our professionals with the best possible training to manage health emergencies not only enhances their competence and confidence – it protects the people they work with every day,” Mr Elvish said.

This initiative marks the beginning of a broader collaboration between AUSactive and SMA. Both organisations are actively exploring additional ways to work together to support our industry and the Australian public.
