Promote active living

We are helping more Western Australians to be active and participate in sport and recreation.

Our partnerships are providing quality participation opportunities for young people, with a focus on Aboriginal children living in remote and regional Western Australia.

We are committed to promoting active living opportunities for all Western Australians.

We are working with others to:

  • Advocate for healthy, liveable, sustainable communities that encourage and enable all members of society to be more physically active and reduce sedentary behaviours in their daily lives (active living)
  • Increase awareness and motivate behaviour change to support active living
  • Facilitate initiatives that focus on inclusion and increasing participation in physical activity, particularly in priority groups.
  • Support the development of fundamental movement skills and physical literacy from the early years, to sustain physical activity participation over the life course.
