At the Australasian Sustainable Wellness Academy (ASWA), we’re not just a training Academy, we’re a movement!
We help individuals and organisations to thrive at their best.
We believe that we can all do more to empower individuals, workplaces, businesses and communities to live healthier, happier lives with optimum wellness, vitality and sustainability.
Wellness should be within everyone’s reach – that is our philosophy. It is this philosophy that drives every decision behind our innovative programs. It is the motivating force for our passionate program advisors and mentors, and the inspiration behind our industry collaborations.
Two strategic objectives of the Academy are to increase the level of understanding of wellness concepts and provide tools for life; and to provide solutions for organisations through influential and engaging strategies that are compatible with the mission and goals of the organisation.
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life…a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. World Health Organisation.
Obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes and mental health disorders continue to rise, regardless of the increased investment in research and associated understanding of the influence that lifestyle choices have on our overall quality of life.
The Academy takes a proactive approach to wellness through an integrated framework designed to inspire, guide and support students to make sustainable lifestyle changes. The road to lasting positive change starts with you.
