Professional Development

ACHPER gives high priority to its aim of improving professional practice in its areas of interest by conducting activities nationally and through its state/territory branches.

Professional development has been a continuing and integral part of ACHPER's platform and we are committed to providing quality service. Many activities are conducted in conjunction with or for state education departments or in partnership with other kindred organisations.

ACHPER's own curriculum resources are sold through the Healthy Lifestyles Bookshop but are supported by professional development programs around the country. Resources with a particular professional development focus are:

• Play with Purpose
• Daily Does It
• Play 5
• Australian Fitness Education Award
• Rethinking Drinking Kit
• Fit to Lead
• Physical Education: Primary (PEP) Dance and Gymnastics
• ACHPER Advocacy Kit

See ACHPER Resources for detailed information on each resources.

State and territory branches also offer a diverse range of other activities. Contact your local ACHPER branch to obtain information on programs.

ACHPER Biennial National/International Conferences provide a forum for teachers, researchers, teacher educators, community fitness leaders and leisure educators to share and publicise their successful work. See Conference/Events for information on our next Conference.
