Physical Literacy: Informing a Definition and Standard for Australia

To ensure we are all working from a position of clarity and national consistency around applying a physical literacy approach, the ASC is leading the development of an Australian definition for physical literacy. A national Physical Literacy Standard will also be developed to support coaches, educators and parents to identify and support development of the range of skills that enable active, healthy lifestyles. This work seeks to enhance collaboration between the sport and recreation system and the education and health sectors to improve participation outcomes, improve quality of life for future generations, and ease the health burden at a national level.
