Provide your feedback on the draft 24-hour movement recommendations for adults and older Australians!
The Department of Health and Aged Care is seeking your help to modernise the 24-hour movement recommendations for adults and older Australians. These guidelines will incorporate the latest evidence in a 24-hour movement approach (physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep) to achieve optimal health and reduce risks for adults and older Australians. The goal of these guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations for policy makers, health organisations, health professionals, researchers, and the general public.
Why do your views matter?
Stakeholder and community feedback is crucial to help develop and modernise the 24-hour movement guidelines. While the target audience of this consultation is health and physical activity professionals, the Department of Health and Aged Care is seeking a diverse range of perspectives, experiences and knowledge from all stakeholders, consumers and community organisations.
The final 24-hour movement guidelines will inform future evidence-based public health messaging about the recommended amount of physical activity (frequency, intensity, duration) and types of physical activity for adults and older Australians. The guidelines will summarise the latest evidence regarding key health benefits of physical activity.
This opportunity to provide your feedback on the draft 24-hour movement recommendations for adults and older Australians closes 18 October 2024.
