Need Help ?

Fit for Good was launched in April 2011. Throughout 2011 our services and initiatives were implemented exclusively through our Launch Partner, Mission Australia. As of January 2012, we are offering our services to other helping organisations around Australia. If you work for Mission Australia, you will require a username and password (available from your Service Manager) to complete the Application forms. If you work for another helping organisation, please fill out an ENQUIRY FORM HERE and someone from the Fit for Good office will be in touch shortly. All applications for Fit for Good services and products must be completed by case workers, social workers, counsellors, psychologists or advocates for Australians in need. We do not accept applications from individuals.

What can you apply for?

 ‘In kind’ services

• Mentoring by our volunteer fitness professionals. Our volunteers (personal trainers, group exercise instructors and fitness centre owners and managers) are willing to give their time to teach classes, run boot camps, mentor others to complete a fitness goal (such as running or walking in a fun run), give healthy lifestyle talks, consult on exercise programs for people in need, or provide any other service or need where their skills and knowledge can be utilised.
• Provision of clothing and footwear – we have access to free fitness clothing and footwear so that people in need who want to go on a health and fitness journey can be appropriately equipped.
• Free gym memberships – we have a bank of complimentary memberships at fitness centres throughout Australia that can be allocated to people who would be interested, willing and able to attend a fitness centre. Where possible, we seek representatives at the centres to serve as mentors.
• Donated second-hand fitness equipment – we can source second-hand fitness equipment for helping centres who would like to develop an exercise space within their facility. We can also try to find a fitness professional in your area to consult on what equipment would be best to put in and how the space should be set up.  
• Scholarships – we hold a bank of scholarships to complete Certificate III (group exercise instructor and gym floor instructor) and Certificate IV (personal trainer) in Fitness – the qualification required to work in the fitness industry. 

Financial Initiatives

• Grants – in time, we hope to provide grants for the provision of health and fitness products and services for helping organisations. If a helping centre requires funding to hire a fitness professional (if one could not be found to work pro bono), equip a gym (if donated equipment cannot be found), buy some exercise mats, or anything else health and fitness related, a grant request may be submitted. Due to Fit for Good being in its infancy stages, our Grant Application Process is not yet open.
