Sport 2030 is the Australian government’s strategic plan to invest in sport and physical activity over the next decade and beyond.

This report presents information on the physical activity and sedentary participation rate of Australians across the life stages, reported against Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines.
