Sport Australia CEO Kate Palmer says schools are a key vehicle to solving the nation’s inactivity crisis, launching the 31st Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) International Conference at the AIS in Canberra as she welcomed 250 delegates from around the world including, physical education teachers, sport educators, coaches and associated health practitioners.
