IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING THROUGH SPORT

Sydney was proud to host this outstanding and impactful lunch that brought together over 120 business leaders, sports professionals and community voices for the launch of our report, Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing Through Sport.

We are sincerely grateful to our collaborators  Lifeline and Sport NSW for their support, and to Andrea Culligan and Deloitte for their generous hosting of the lunch.

It was a privilege to hear from NSW Ministers, The Hon Rose Jackson MLC and The Hon. Steve Kamper MP, whose insights and ongoing commitment to improving mental health outcomes are deeply valued.

A highlight of the event was the engaging panel discussion featuring both Ministers, Abs Osseiran Western Sydney Managing Partner, Deloitte, Dr Anna Brooks, Chief Research Officer, Lifeline Australia and Stuart Hodge, CEO, Sport NSW, expertly facilitated by Prof. Steve Moylan the Chair of Lifeline Australia. The conversation reinforced the powerful role sport can play in strengthening mental health and wellbeing across our communities.

Thank you also to Dr Anna Brooks for sharing key insights from the report and helping to guide this important conversation and Linda Scott, Chair, CareSuper for delivering the vote of thanks.

This report marks an important step forward in understanding how we can better leverage sport as a tool for positive mental health outcomes.
