Perth Heat will take to the field tonight with a new look and a renewed purpose - promoting healthy, active living for all Western Australians.
Previously known as the 'Alcohol. Think Again Perth Heat', the team has renewed their partnership with Healthway ahead of the 2025/26 baseball season, putting a stronger focus on health, wellbeing, and family-friendly fun in the game.
With the support of the Cook Government, the rebranded Healthway Perth Heat will pitch healthy active lifestyles and community connection by:
- increasing access to healthy food and drink options at games;
- role-modelling healthy behaviours through professional players and targeted education strategies;
- raising awareness about the link between healthy eating, performance and wellbeing through engagement at Perth Heat games and events; and
- creating safer, family-friendly environments by limiting alcohol promotion, raising awareness of alcohol-related harm, and strengthening alcohol-free zones at games, with the support of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation.
This dynamic partnership will foster a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere at NSR Hire Ballpark in Thornlie, where fans of all ages can enjoy the game in a supportive environment.
Healthway has been a long-term supporter of the Perth Heat, investing more than $1.6 million since 1991 to promote various health messages.

As stated by Preventative Health Minister Sabine Winton:
"The Cook Labor Government is focused on supporting Western Australians and the communities they live, work and play in to build healthier habits that last a lifetime.
"From the food and drinks on offer to role models on and off the field, the Healthway Perth Heat is showing how sport can lead the way in creating healthier, more active communities.
"Partnerships like this make healthy living part of our community culture. It is great to see sports being used as a platform to promote healthier choices for young Western Australians."
As stated by Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti:
"Sport plays such an important role in bringing people together and is a powerful way to promote the positive habits that create happier, healthier communities.
"With this renewed focus on community wellbeing, the Healthway Perth Heat will be leading by example on and off the field."
As stated by Cannington MLA Ron Sao:
"It's fantastic to see the Healthway Perth Heat leading the way in promoting healthy, active living. This partnership is a real home run for our local community.
"This initiative brings health and sport together in a way that makes a real difference - not just for fans, but for families across the community.
"I look forward to throwing the first pitch at the season opener at NSR Hire Ballpark, with our great local community."
