Maccabi LIFE is a bold community initiative which was created in 2019 and developed to create sustainable health change by promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through education, eventing and unstructured activity.
Our goal is to pioneer health and wellbeing solutions and pursue new opportunities outside of our Sport program to enrich the physical and mental literacy and health of the Jewish community.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Maccabi LIFE Heart-Health Community Campaign Webinar, “A BIG HEART,” held on Sunday, 26 April.
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Australia, and this important session helped break down the risks and practical steps families can take to stay protected.
Attendees heard from our esteemed panel, Dr Lisa Lefkovits, Dr Peter Brukner OAM, and moderator Dr Ron Ehrlich, who shared the latest insights on cardiovascular disease, emerging risk factors, and effective prevention strategies for all ages.
A highlight of the evening was our special guest, Ilan Zimerman, who shared his powerful and personal heart health journey, an inspiring story that resonated across the community.
The webinar reinforced how important it is, whether you’re 15, 25, 45 or 75, to understand your heart health and take proactive steps toward a healthier future.
Please find below a recording of our Webinar to watch and share with family and friends.
Thank you again for being part of this meaningful event and for helping us spread awareness about heart health across the community.
Due to a lack of scoliosis screening and awareness, Maccabi LIFE recognised an important opportunity to educate and create awareness on this topic in our community.
Before government funding was removed nationally in the 1990’s, screening for scoliosis used to take place in schools. As a result, screening of children no longer takes place and early detection through testing is missed. This lack of testing has resulted in many children going undiagnosed with their condition worsening over time to the point where they may face the difficult choice of having to undergo major spinal surgery.
We partnered with renowned Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Angus Gray to develop and implement a national community awareness campaign on scoliosis.

Our aim is to make testing and early detection part of every family’s annual health and wellness routine
