Simply Active Everyday: A plan to promote physical activity in NSW 1998-2002 Evaluation Report

Summary

In May 1996, the NSW Deputy Premier launched the intersectoral Physical Activity Task Force (PATF) to develop a comprehensive plan to increase the levels of physical activity in the NSW community. With a vision of all people in NSW actively participating in regular physical activity, the Task Force developed Simply Active Everyday: a plan to promote physical activity in NSW 1998-2002. This plan was successfully implemented, with 54 out of the 64 objectives completed. Analysis of physical activity levels at the end of the plan showed that NSW Health is doing better than other jurisdictions without comprehensive inter-sectoral physical activity plans. Further, the Task Force has been recognised by the World Health Organisation as a model of best practice in health promotion.
