28 BLUEPRINT FOR AN ACTIVE AUSTRALIA

Synthesis of the case study

Developed by the National Heart Foundation of Australia in 2009, the 'Blueprint for an active Australia' provides key information to help governments, organisations, associations and agencies formulate a national physical activity plan for action to increase population levels of physical activity. The document provides a summary of evidence and strategies to inform national policy and action plans to address physical activity and complement the Australian Government’s recommendations for physical activity across the lifespan for all Australians.
