We have developed three resources to help families plan physical activity together. They have been co-designed with children, parents and other advisors.
Some children and parents/carers are not active often. These resources tell them more about being active together and how to plan activities together so everyone can have fun. There is also a plan for you to download and complete.
Research tells us being active together is a partnership. Children, as well as parents/carers, can help plan what to do. Having a say is important in helping children and parents/ carers join in.
Our researchers, Kate, Rod and Kristen hope you find some fun ways to use the resources together.

Families living in rural and regional Australia sometimes wait months to see health workers. There are few resources to help families while they are waiting to be seen. Being active helps children who are neuro and developmentally diverse.
We are keen to hear what you think about the resources. Your feedback and suggestions will inform future updates and the creation of physical activity resources.
