We won the Health Improvement Services Award — thank you, North Shore!
Big news: At the 2025 North Shore Small Business Awards, Healthfix won the Health Improvement Services category. We’re honoured and grateful. Most of all, we’re proud that a people‑first, strength‑based model of healthcare is being recognised on a public stage.
“This award reflects what we’ve built together — a place where people feel supported, empowered, and set up for long‑term health.” Sean Cooney, Founder
Why this matters
Awards are nice. Outcomes are better. This recognition signals that a different way of doing healthcare: integrated, preventative, and relationship‑based, is making a real difference.
What it means for you:
- Your care is personal and coordinated: physio, exercise physiology, dietetics, PT and small‑group classes under one roof.
- You get a clear plan and measurable progress via our Healthfix Flow System.
- You are part of a supportive community, supervised by allied health professionals.
- You leave with more than pain relief — strength, confidence and know how to stay well.
How we do it: the Healthfix Flow System
Most people don’t need more appointments. They need a roadmap. Every client moves through four phases that connect rehab to performance:
- Remedial — Settle symptoms with targeted, expert care.
- Restorative — Rebuild strength, mobility and confidence.
- Baseline — Lock in sustainable routines and habits.
- Performance — Chase personal goals and maintain long‑term health.
We track understanding of the plan, session attendance, early wins (within three sessions), short‑term goals, and long‑term outcomes. Clarity for us. Confidence for you.
What the judges saw (and what our clients feel)
We’re not going to guess the scoring sheet, but we believe this award recognises a few things our community tells us often:
- Integrated care that actually feels integrated. One team, one plan, your goals at the centre.
- Expert‑led small‑group training. Rehab flows into strength and performance – at any age.
- A safe, inclusive environment. Especially for people who’ve felt overlooked by traditional fitness or rushed through standard care.
- Real outcomes. Clients regularly tell us they’ve regained confidence, improved strength and mobility, and finally understand how to manage their health.
“I’m not judged. My issues aren’t dismissed or over‑emphasised — this level of acceptance really works for me.” — Healthfix client
The last two years: building for impact
We didn’t sit still after the pandemic. We rebuilt around prevention and consistency:
- Introduced a membership‑based model to make regular, expert support more accessible.
- Secured an R&D grant to evaluate our therapist‑led, group‑based care model.
- Earned an AMEX Business Backers Grant recognising our community‑driven approach.
- Continued to invest heavily in our team with structured onboarding, mentoring and paid CPD so you get their best.
Community first, always
We’re proud to be part of North Sydney. We run free seminars (on topics like healthy ageing), collaborate with local GPs and specialists, and donate monthly to charities through our cancellation‑fee policy. Real health change sticks when the whole community is involved.
Where we’re headed
The future of healthcare is integrated, preventative and powered by relationships. We’re continuing to test and improve our model so it delivers for individuals and the wider health system. Our aim is simple: help more Australians move better, feel stronger and live healthier for life.
