Join Maccabi LIFE today
Maccabi LIFE is a bold community initiative which was created in 2019 and developed to create sustainable health change in the Australian Jewish community by promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
The goal is to promote health and well-being options outside of our Sport programs to the full range of age demographics through 3 distinct pillars – Physical Activity, Healthy Eating and Mental Wellbeing. This will be achieved through education sessions, online events, and unstructured activity.
Maccabi LIFE will partner with leading health and wellness professionals to create a wide range of events and activities that are relevant and evolve with the ever-changing health needs of our community.
Maccabi is a world wide organisation.
We are part of a Global Movement
Maccabi Australia is a Zionist sports organisation with a strong focus on strengthening its links with Israel and the global Jewish community through our affiliation with Maccabi World Union( MWU).
MWU is a worldwide organisation that represents Jewish sportsmen and women around the world. Globally MWU represents some 450,000 members in over 80 countries participating in just about all sporting codes and has established a phenomenal track record of using organised sports as a passport to lifelong Jewish involvement.
Maccabi Australia symbolises community, friendship, connection and competitive spirit. Just as sport maintains an important role in society, Maccabi has and will continue to play an intrinsic part of the fabric of the Australian Jewish community. Maccabi prides itself on providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to not only get active, but also form lifelong friendships.

Maccabi LifeHealth & Wellbeing
In late 2018, Maccabi Australia shifted the strategic scope of the organisation to include a focus on health and wellbeing and launched the Maccabi Life initiative.
The organisation recognised that there had been a greater shift to unstructured physical activity, resulting in lower participation in club activities. The association between sport and health and wellbeing is a natural one, so it seemed fitting for Maccabi to take a leading position in this space.
The aim of Maccabi Life is to create sustainable health change in our Australian Jewish community by promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, body and mind, the perfect add on to our National Sports Program. Maccabi Life focuses on reaching people who are involved in – or seek to become involved in – unstructured activities. The initiatives are designed to engage not only Maccabi club members, but also the wider Jewish community.
