Our vision is for a world where everyone thrives through movement, adventure, and active recreation.
We believe movement belongs at the heart of every school, every community, and every family — building a healthier, more connected Australia and showing the world what’s possible.
We see a future where movement is a right, not a privilege — where every Australian, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance, can live an active, healthy, and fulfilling life.
We are building a nation that moves — where active recreation, adventure, and community connection are part of everyday life, not lost to screens, sedentary habits, or declining physical literacy.
We are committed to breaking down the barriers that stand in the way — for First Nations peoples, girls and women, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people with disabilities, and those experiencing disadvantage — so that no one is left behind.
By 2050, we will have led a national shift: reversing the forecast that half of Australian children and adolescents will be overweight or obese. We will replace passive screen time with lifelong habits of movement, play, and adventure — and ignite a culture where everyone has the chance to thrive.
