Prevention is better than cure but in Australia and New Zealand, just 1.3 per cent of the health budget is spent on preventing disease. Meanwhile, about one third of chronic diseases are preventable.

Headquartered in Australia, the SiSU team combines an online health platform with physical ‘health stations’ located in all states of Australia, UK, Ireland and Germany to help improve corporate and public health.
