Jonas Leisure has joined LIWA as a sponsor of the inaugural Aquatic & Recreation Facility Managers Course, to be delivered 9–13 March 2026. Developed to strengthen workforce capability and support the next generation of facility leaders, the week-long program will provide practical, industry-led training delivered across a range of Perth aquatic and recreation centres. Supported by the WA State Government and delivered in partnership with Royal Life Saving WA (RLSWA), the course includes technical tours, hands-on activities, case studies, access to applied resources, and structured networking opportunities. Sponsorship funds will be directed toward offsetting costs for regional participants travelling from across Western Australia to attend the program.

Alissa Lim, Group Manager at Jonas Leisure, said, “Jonas Leisure is proud to come on board as a sponsor of the Aquatic & Recreation Facility Managers Course because strong facilities need strong leaders. This program gives emerging managers real-world, hands-on learning across WA facilities — and by supporting regional travel subsidies and course costs, we’re helping remove barriers so more people can step up into leadership roles. As a software partner focused on making operations more efficient (backed by 24/7 support and our Software for Life policy), we love backing initiatives that strengthen capability, connections, and long-term sustainability across the aquatic and recreation industry.”

LIWA Executive Officer Leith Fradd said Jonas Leisure continues to be an outstanding advocate for the Western Australian aquatic and recreation industry. “Their support will create meaningful opportunities for emerging leaders and help ensure we continue to develop and retain skilled facility managers across the state,” she said. “One of the greatest strengths of this course is the calibre of experienced managers who are generously sharing their expertise and practical knowledge with participants. Jonas Leisure recognises the importance of ‘playing it forward’, and their support reinforces the value of investing in capability and leadership development across the sector.”
