At AVA Advisory, we know what it means to face pressure and keep standing. Every day we work with business owners carrying a weight most people never see – and we know that financial distress is never just about numbers. It affects sleep, health, relationships, and mental wellbeing.
That's why our partnerships go beyond business. We stand behind the causes and the people fighting for resilience, both in business and in life.
Financial hardship and mental health are deeply connected. The stress of keeping a business alive can take a serious toll – and too often, it's carried in silence. We're committed to changing that, by backing the organisations doing the work and the athletes willing to put their name to the cause.
We're proud to stand behind Beyond Blue, one of Australia's most trusted voices in mental health. Their work to support the wellbeing of every Australian reflects a belief we share – that no one should have to struggle in silence.
Some fights happen in the boardroom. Some happen in the ring. Our AVA Fighters compete under one banner – resilience – and carry the message that strength includes knowing when to reach out.
By day, Dylan helps Australian business owners find a way forward as part of the AVA team. Outside of work, he competes in Muay Thai across Australia and Asia. Dylan fights under the AVA banner for mental health awareness – proof that resilience is built in the ring and the office alike. In January, Dylan steps into competition in Queensland, and AVA is proud to be in his corner.
Harrison has cut Andrew's hair for over two years at Barberhood in the Sydney CBD – and outside the shop, he competes in Kyokushin, one of the most demanding full-contact disciplines in martial arts. The barber's chair is one of the few places people really talk, and it's where this partnership began. AVA is proud to back Harrison as he competes, and to stand with him in the fight for mental health.
We're growing the AVA Fighters roster. If you compete at a high level and believe that strength includes knowing when to reach out, we'd like to hear from you – whatever your sport, whatever your corner.
AVA Advisory is a proud Major Sponsor of the 2026 All Australian Kyokushin Championships. Kyokushin is a discipline built on perseverance, respect and mental strength – values that sit at the heart of what we do. We're honoured to support the athletes and the community behind one of Australia's toughest martial arts events.
At AVA, we believe every business – and every person behind it – deserves a corner to fight from. Whether it's a struggling business owner, a fighter stepping into the ring, or an Australian doing it tough, no one should have to face the fight alone.
