The announcement is the latest from AIA Australia as it continues to strategically enter into a series of Shared Value partnerships that will bring a positive impact to AIA, its customers, as well as the broader community.AIA Australia’s concept of Shared Value Insurance is a purpose-led way of operating that focuses on increased health awareness, prevention and upstream approaches to physical, mental, environmental and financial wellbeing so people can stay well.

AIA Australia CEO, Damien Mu said, “At AIA Australia we have a dream to champion Australia to be the healthiest and best protected nation in the world. We recognise the importance of physical activity to reduce the severity and prevalence of non-communicable diseases and are excited by this new opportunity to inspire Australians to move well.
