Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance

You may not have heard from QFSR Skills Alliance for a while.  That is because they have been busy rebranding and preparing a range of additional new services to support the fitness, sport and recreation industry.

On Tuesday, August 6, they announced the new name – ACTIVE QUEENSLANDERS INDUSTRY ALLIANCE.

The Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance, is a service provider established by and for the fitness, sport and active recreation industry, supports workforce, organisation and club development. The AQIA also provides direct support to eligible fitness, sport and recreation organisations and clubs to assist with:

• Free advice on how to be ready to access grants and funding opportunities
• Free initial consultations for legal and HR advice
• Free education and training resources
• Subsidised strategic and financial planning

Visit the website www.aqia.org.au to learn how they can support your organisation or club’s volunteers or staff.  They have partnered with a number of organisations to offer organisations and clubs access to a range of free and discounted resources to strengthen your committees and volunteer roles.

The AQIA is also planning an industry and volunteer SYMPOSIUM on 15 and 16 November 2019 in Brisbane.  The Symposium will include an Industry Conference on Friday 15 November and a Volunteer Conference on Saturday 16 November.  Please save these dates in your calendars and more information will be provided very soon.

In the coming months you will be hearing more about what they can offer your organisations and clubs to ensure the fitness, sport and active recreation industry can grow, be sustainable and help deliver physical activity opportunities to Queenslanders.
