SAWNA TO THE PEOPLE
AUSTRALIA 2026
Crafted by

SECRET AGENCY
BACKGROUND SCIENCE
One of the largest long-term sauna studies followed Finnish adults for over 26 years. Regular sauna use was associated with significantly lowering Australia's top two killers, heart problems ↓52% and dementia ↓65%.

We think logevity should be available to every Aussie.

Bellinger River, Bellingen NSW
COMMUNITY FIRST MODEL
Pilot site in Bellingen NSW
Bellingen has been selected as SAWNA’s pilot location due to its strong health culture, ageing population mix, and proximity to regional healthcare networks.

The site allows us to test free, everyday sauna access in a real community setting - measuring utilisation, frequency and safety before broader rollout. It is a working proof of concept for how heat-based wellbeing infrastructure can operate quietly, reliably and at scale across Australia.

Modular Deployment
Each SAWNA unit follows a standardised design, allowing sites to be installed quickly across urban, regional and remote environments without custom engineering or redesign.
Low-Overhead Operations
Built for durability, safety and high daily throughput, SAWNA units are designed to run reliably with minimal maintenance, staffing or ongoing management.
Human-Centred by Default
Spaces are intentionally simple and calm, requiring no instruction, tracking or behaviour change — people enter, use heat, and leave restored.
Built for Long-Term Use
SAWNA is designed as permanent public infrastructure, capable of operating quietly and consistently for decades rather than short program cycles.

A system designed to last.

HOW SAWNA SCALES
SAWNA partners with progressive organisations to fund physical wellbeing infrastructure, often as CSR programs. Sponsors cover the full cost of a sauna installation and nominate where it is placed - creating permanent, free access for a community.

SAWNA is a DGR eligible foundation, so these costs are fully deductable.

Ageing Well Is a Community Project
As Australia’s population ages, prevention matters most long before care is required. This article examines how shared environments — including public sauna — can support healthier ageing by strengthening circulation, stress regulation and social connection over decades.
