Games Charities
Welcome to the Corporate Games.
beyondblue
This is the 25th year of the Games in Australia. Each year we have welcomed 20,000 entrants competing in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. They
represent over 3000 organisations including, Telstra, AIA, EY, DWS, NAB, Australia Post and many government departments.
Three million Australians are currently experiencing anxiety or depression. Every
day, seven people take their own lives. beyondblue works to raise awareness of
depression, anxiety and suicide prevention, reduce the stigma surrounding these
issues and to encourage people to seek support when they need it.
If you have entered the Games in the past you will notice some changes to the upcoming Games.

Australian Organisations have been winning awards across the worldwide Corporate Games community for decades now!!.
We lay claim to entering the top 15 largest Games teams in the world with the Queensland Government entering a staggering
1830 in the 2013
Corporate Games in Brisbane. ANZ have continually entered teams of over 1000 in the past 10
years while many other organisations have rallied numbers over 200 and 300 annually.
But remember you only need one person on your team in the Games; as the Group Championships makes is possible for even a
small team to be a winner.
