Our aim is to develop the whole person, helping all South Australians connect with a better life. Not only their physical fitness and capabilities, but also their sense of identity, purpose, hope and dignity; psychological health; resilience; social connectedness; lifelong learning; and their own contribution back into the community. All the elements that together constitute a full, healthy, productive, and satisfying life.

Our vision is to see** "lives enriched through wellbeing"** in this wider, and more integrated, sense across all of the South Australian communities in which we work.
