“Developing a person’s physical literacy across their lifespan is crucial if we want more Australians to live active, healthy and happy lives.”

— Dr Natasha Schranz, Co-Chair, Active Healthy Kids Australia

Participating in regular physical activity is important for your health…. most Australians aren’t getting the physical activity they need.This can shorten life expectancy and increase the risk of heart disease and other non-communicable diseases.

We know that the way our neighbourhoods and open spaces are designed is connected to how much physical activity we do.
