To help Australians understand how much activity they need, the Australian Government Department of Health have developed physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines for each age group and for pregnancy.

These guidelines outline:

• how much physical activity you should do each day
• ideas to fit more physical activity into your daily lives
• the importance of reducing and breaking up the time you spend sitting or lying down when not sleeping
• how much sedentary screen time is recommended
• how much sleep children and young people should get
• how children and young people can get good quality sleep.
