Lismore business Fitness Kidz are four-time winners in the annual What’s on 4 Kids’ National Australian Business Awards. Anytime a local business wins an award, it is worth celebrating.

Hailed as the industries best, the What’s on 4 Kids’ Awards celebrates the greatest in Australia’s children’s activities, parties, and family entertainment industries.

For the first time since 2019, the Australia-wide awards were held in person on Saturday, October 8th, 2022 in Tweed Heads, NSW. With selected finalists vying to take home the crown in 28 categories such as Kids Activity Industry Leader of the Year and Best Kids Activity for Cultural Diversity.

The night was highly anticipated and, not only, reignited the industry but provided a platform for recognition following a challenging time during over two years in a COVID-19 world.

Nominees were judged by highly regarded and experienced business owners and those chosen were awarded the judged winner. The People’s Choice Awards are always a favourite for the parent community and also returned as part of the awards again this year.

Fitness Kidz owner Brad Hicks is proud to announce that they have been selected as the winner for the categories, People’s Choice Best Local Preschooler Activity/ Class 3-5 years, People’s Choice Best Local School Aged Activity/ Class 5-12 years, People’s Choice Australia’s Best Kids Party Entertainer & People’s Choice Best Kids Party/ Live Entertainer INDUSTRY LEADER of the Year.
