In Australia, there is an average of 4,000 hospitalisations due to influenza illness each year. Influenza (the flu) is an acute viral illness, costing Australian businesses millions of dollars every year in absenteeism and sick leave. Initially affecting around 20% of staff and due to its highly contagious nature it spreads rapidly creating extreme productivity losses in the workplace. At BizHealth we provide onsite workplace flu vaccinations across Australia and New Zealand to employees, that is right we come to you!

A recent worldwide study has proven that lower back pain is the most commonly recorded of workplace injuries, ranking higher than any other condition including cardiac arrest and depression. Both costly and extremely painful, these injuries arise from a number of ergonomic exposures including heavy lifting, forceful movement, awkward positions and poor work-station set up. In Australia alone, back pain costs around $4.8 billion each year for health care, with 25% of the sufferers in the 18-55 age groups taking 10 or more days off per year. At BizHealth, we offer a 10-15 minute Australian standards & Ergonomic principle-based assessment to employees to help shape safer work-stations.

We offer tailored nutrition and 10 week weight management sessions, along with cooking demonstrations that cater to busy employees and executives.
