In October 2024, AHPA provided a written response to the Australian Government consultation on draft 24-hour movement recommendations for adults and older Australians.

To help Australians understand how much to sit, move, and sleep across the day, the Australian Government is updating and modernising:

  • Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Guidelines for Adults (18-64 years)
  • Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Guidelines for Older People (65 years and above).

The modernised guidelines will incorporate a 24-hour approach to activity and will recognise the importance of sleep. The updated 24-hour movement guidelines will apply to adults (18-64 years), older Australians (65 years and over) and people living with disability or chronic conditions.

AHPA thanks NSW-ACT Branch President Josephine Chau for developing a response on behalf of the Association.
