As the sponsor of the award, we advocate for environments that promote and support physical activity and heart-health outcomes. In collaboration with a number of stakeholders, including PIA, the Heart Foundation supports the creation of healthy built environments to get more Australians healthy and active. The built environment in which we live, work and play has a critical role in shaping our health.

Great to hear about HF's involvement in the Healthy Active by Design awards. Once again, we value how such initiatives can have a great influence on a large number of organisations, as well has HF staff themselves - so you have earned another 20 bonus points. Can't wait to hear the outcomes of the awards!
