Other Information:

The ACT Government recognises the benefits of physical activity for good health. National guidelines specify that adults participate in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days. Future action to support increased physical activity will include: • development and implementation of Be Active ACT, a physical activity framework for ACT Health • continued promotion of the Find thirty. It’s not a big exercise® physical activity campaign • establishment of a healthy lifestyle website to facilitate referral by linking general practitioners with appropriate support for lifestyle modification, including allied health professionals, community organisations and the fitness industry.
