The Australian Institute of Sport and Nestlé have been working together since 1999 to bring health and activity into Australian schools.

The Good Village is an education program developed and designed for teachers, by teachers to upskill students on health and wellbeing, fitness, nutrition and sustainability.

The Good Village is aligned to the Health and Physical Education Curriculum and the Sustainability cross curriculum priority area.

Teachers help their primary school students to work their way through the four activity areas of The Good Village map, exploring and developing the skills they will need to complete the main challenge – which is to create their own athlete village!

A.H. Beard is the official bedding partner of the AIS. As a part of the exciting collaboration both parties will research the impact of sleep on athletes.

The partnership will see A.H. Beard provide mattresses for the AIS Residences and AIS Altitude House ensuring that Australia’s top athletes are well rested night after night.

A.H. Beard will work closely with the AIS Physiology and Recovery Teams to assist with research into the benefits of sleep and the development of sleep programs for recovery and optimal performance.

Proud Sponsor of the ASC

ASC partner Suncorp has launched a new group of ambassadors and videos as part of its new Suncorp Team Girls Talk series.

Suncorp Team Girls talk to Olympic hockey player Rosie Malone, Paralympic wheelchair sprinter Robyn Lambird, Olympic diver Melissa Wu and national rowing champion Georgia Nesbitt about the importance of family in their sporting journey, the benefits of sticking with Sport throughout their teenage years, overcoming setbacks, and the critical role community plays in keeping athletes in the game.

Suncorp launched Team Girls with Netball Australia in 2017 in response to the startling statistic that nearly 50% of girls stop playing sport by age 17. Through its partnership with the ASC, the program has since expanded into other sports.

The ASC a and the ambassadors have already shared a series of teaser videos on social media using the hashtag #TeamGirls, with longer videos featured on the Suncorp Team Girls Website (and embedded below).

To help spread the message about the importance of nutrition to health and performance, Grill’d has also engaged Olympic gold medallist Jakara Anthony, as their newest ambassador.
