Lauretta Stace CEO Fitness Australia

Previous award recipients have been able to celebrate and promote their success with their customers, team and industry peers. As well, all nominees have been able to learn from others, grow and

further develop their business as a result of engaging in the awards process.

In 2012 we are highlighting the concept of quality because we believe that this is important for the future development and positioning of the fitness industry. The change in this years’ awards process is aligned with Fitness Australia’s development of the industry quality framework standards which will continue over the next few years. This approach, based on a rigorous and transparent assessment process, also provides a direct link between quality standards in the industry and the achievement of an award of excellence.

This year, Registered Exercise Professionals will also be asked to ‘tell their story’ and demonstrate how they have improved the health and fitness of their client(s). These inspiring stories will be recognised and celebrated at the annual gala dinner. Over time, we envisage that this will become an important and powerful way to demonstrate the value that these professionals bring to the community.

On behalf of everyone at Fitness Australia, I would like to extend my congratulations to all the award nominees who have demonstrated their commitment to enhancing industry standards and reputation through quality service provision.

ThE AwARdS OF hONOuR PROgRAm

The momentum behind our efforts to achieve our vision is also the result of commitment and hard work by talented people who have volunteered their time and expertise to create an association the fitness industry can be proud of.

Fitness Australia emerged from a federated model to a national body over a decade ago. For many years, Fitness Australia and the state and territory associations were ‘staffed’ by volunteers who were passionate about the advancement of the industry. These efforts have led to the establishment today of a highly regarded national industry association.

Fitness Australia is proud to provide recognition of the important contributions of industry leaders and champions through the Awards of honour Program. This program consists of three categories of awards:

Chairman’s Award

Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry

Q: why do you think being on a Fitness Australia Board or Committee can make a difference to the Fitness Industry?A: Fitness Australia has really stood up to the challenge of creating a vision and strategy to improve the quality of our industry. It is important that the voice and opinion of the industry itself is heard and can influence the development and implementation of that strategy. Being part of the Board or a committee enables the individuals to contribute to the development and growth of the fitness industry.

Q: what do you believe is important for the future development and positioning of the fitness industry and Fitness Australia?A: Three key factors. One is a Quality Assurance process that ensures that fitness businesses provide a great service to the community. The second is the skilling of our workforce to deal with the changing health of the population. The third is recognition of the fitness industry as a legitimate part of the mainstream health services sector.

Q: The fitness industry is diverse and highly competitive. what do you believe to be the most important elements for enhancing professionalism and standards of service provision within the industry?A: The industry's diversity and competitive nature are one of its greatest assets. It is important that a structured process is developed to ensure a logical, consistent and effective education journey aimed at meeting the changing needs of our community. A targeted education strategy results in a more confident, capable and professional workforce.

Q: what words of advice would you pass onto other people in the industry who may wish to make a contribution to the fitness industry and Fitness Australia in achieving a healthier and fitter nation?A: To invest our resources in improving the very industry that we belong to. If well managed, our efforts can create changes and opportunities for more rewarding work, greater financial remuneration and greater influence in the well-being of the community. I strongly believe that Fitness Australia is the right organisation to manage and direct those efforts towards a healthier and fitter future for our nation.

Nominations for this award are sought from amongst the Regional Industry Councils and the Council of the Register of Exercise Professionals.

Q: what has been your motivation for voluntarily committing your time and expertise to the fitness industry and Fitness Australia?A: I recognise the challenge that faces new employees, employers and training providers who need to continuously reinvent the wheel unless there is a channel for sharing.

Q: what do you believe is important for the future development and positioning of the fitness industry and Fitness Australia?A: Firstly a strategic re-alignment of the fitness industry to strengthen the perception that the fitness industry is a legitimate part of the health care profession rather than being seen as part of a recreation model only.

Q: what do you believe is important for the future development and positioning of the fitness industry and Fitness Australia?Overcoming the public’s perception of the fitness industry as an expensive option in achieving good health and fitness. documenting and publishing findings relating to people who have been regular industry users, then telling the stories of how it has changed their lives to a National audience.

Q: what words of advice would you pass onto other people in the industry who may wish to make a contribution to the fitness industry and Fitness Australia in achieving a healthier and fitter nation?Fitness through exercise is not an end in itself. Identify how being fit will make a difference in your client/member’s life and identifying the tangible benefits they will experience. Reinforce how maintaining that fitness will make an ongoing difference in how they live especially with respect to being able to better cope with the physical and mental challenges in their world from being fit and healthy.

Q: when you were actively involved with the fitness industry what was your motivation for voluntarily committing your time and expertise to the industry & Fitness Australia?A: I was actively involved in the fitness industry between 1978 and 1990. my motivation back then was purely the safety of participants and the reputation of an industry that could do more for community health than any medical system but was in danger of losing large numbers of people through dangerous practices by untrained instructors.

Q: what did you believe to be the most important elements for enhancing professionalism and standards of service provision within the industry?A: Just like every profession, continuous education and the presence of a professional body is the key to developing and maintaining high standards, so I congratulate Fitness Australia on the work they are doing.

A: volunteering at least one hour a week to a marginalised or disadvantaged group would be a meaningful contribution in helping Australia become a healthier and fitter nation.

Fitness Australia engaged an independent company with expertise in quality systems, to lead the evaluation team. This company have been responsible for the assessment of all applications as well as telephone and site-visit verification processes and reporting. A risk management specialist from guild Insurance was also engaged to assist with the on-site audit process.

1. Programs, services and customer serviceThe business describes its programs and services that reflect best practice and produce positive outcomes.

2. People (workforce)The business describes its workforce (even if only a workforce of one) and describes how it is capable of delivering and supporting the services that are provided.
