• One extra Yoga class per week was added
• Two ‘Functional Fitness’ classes per week
• Two ‘Lungs in Action’ classes per week
Heart Health members have also accessed additional services provided by CIT, including allied health assessments, student massage and student personal training.
It should be noted that CIT has been responsive to requests from Heart Health members to supplement the exercise classes with a nutrition information session. CIT has delivered one session and two more are planned this year.
CIT Fit & Well are currently in consultation with the Australian Heart Foundation to organise bespoke sessions directly aimed at older Australians on the topics of nutrition and seniors health.

a) $11,312 per year
b) $16,083 per year
(7) There has been no change to member contribution following the changes to class size. The membership costs in 2016 (Heartmoves Program) and 2017 (Heart Health Program) are as follows:
• Annual Early Bird CIT Fit & Well membership fee - $240 (inclusive of all classes)
• 10 Visit Pass - $45
• Casual Pass - $5
(8) Once the risk assessment was completed and the results indicated that a change in class size would reduce risk, the Head of Department for CIT Sport, Fitness & Wellbeing and the Manager of CIT Fit & Well visited every Heart Moves class.
On 14 August 2017, CIT conducted a meeting between Heart Health Program members, Sport & Fitness Head of Department (HOD), CIT Fit & Well Manager, Health, Community and Science (HCS) Director and the CIT WHS Advisor. The meeting highlighted the risk assessment findings on best practice for the Heart Health Program. It was agreed at the meeting that CIT would conduct a survey of all Heart Health Program members.
The survey was jointly created by Heart Health Program members and the CIT Fit & Well Manager and was held in the week starting 12 September 2017.
A second meeting was then held on 10 October 2017 between Heart Health Program members, Sport & Fitness HOD, CIT Fit & Well Manager and HCS Director. At this meeting the survey results were presented to Heart Health Program members. All parties appeared to be satisfied with the outcomes and no concerns were raised by Heart Health members at this time.
Further meetings will take place in late August 2018.
(9) CIT considered the following options:
• Continue with the larger class sizes. This was not a viable option based on the recommendations of CIT WHS - the health and safety of participants would be put at risk.
