John Stokes CEO, ACHPER

"The Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) welcomes and endorses the Sport Australia Physical Literacy Statement. ACHPER believes Physical Literacy is a concept that can play an important role in the promotion of active and healthy living across the lifespan. Whilst Physical literacy is a lifelong process, the development of physical literacy capabilities begins early in life. ACHPER advocates for quality Health and Physical Education as a vital context in which children and youth can be effectively supported in their Physical Literacy development."
