Current Priorities & Directions

Recent consultations with key stakeholders in the promotion of physical activity in NSW identified several critical needs that are not being met. These include information, training and/or tools in the areas of:

• Physical activity trends for various populations and activity domains
• Measurement of physical activity levels
• “Best buys” & evaluation of physical activity interventions
• The effects of the built environment on physical activity
• The psychosocial & community benefits of physical activity
• Advocacy for physical activity & linking to policy processes

It is anticipated that NSW CPAH will work to address these kinds of needs in NSW.
