Brunswick Baths and Fawkner Leisure Centre, managed by Y Victoria, continue to be recognised as leaders in the Australian health and fitness industry, maintaining their Quality Business Accreditation with AUSactive, the nationally recognised peak body for the exercise and active health sector.
This achievement highlights the progress these centres are making in lifting standards and delivering the quality experiences the Merri-bek community expects.
The Y’s Active Merri-bek Area Manager, Tess Craigie, said the accreditation was a reflection of the consistent professionalism and passion of the teams across both facilities.
Craigie noted “our centres are part of Merri-bek’s vision for healthier, more connected neighbourhoods. This accreditation reinforces our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating spaces where everyone belongs.
“We provide community, inclusion, and purpose.”
With over 4,000 members, Brunswick Baths offers more than 130 classes per week, including group fitness, aqua, boxing, and wellness sessions.
The centre is expanding with a new reformer Pilates studio and upgraded cycle studio to give members even more opportunities to stay active.
Fawkner Leisure Centre is home to over 1,000 members and delivers more than 80 group fitness classes each week, a thriving swim school, and a close-knit, community-focused atmosphere.
Many members have been part of the centre for decades, creating a welcoming space where everyone feels like part of the family.
Craigie added “we are incredibly proud of this achievement. It reflects not only our commitment to safety and quality but also the strong relationships we’ve built with our members and the Merri-bek City Council to support the health and wellbeing of our community.”
AUSactive Chief Executive Barrie Elvish congratulated the Brunswick Baths and Fawkner Leisure Centre teams on their achievement.
Elvish shared “maintaining Quality Business Accreditation with AUSactive is no small feat - it requires ongoing commitment to safety, inclusivity, and best practice.
“The teams at Brunswick Baths and Fawkner Leisure Centre are shining examples of what it means to go above and beyond for their members and their community.
“They represent the very best of our industry, and we’re proud to have them as part of the AUSactive network.”
