Thank you for being part of Physical Literacy Week

Australia’s biggest celebration of movement, play and physical literacy for early childhood was a huge success in its inaugural year. We're looking forward to next year's event already. It's going to be even bigger and better, and we'd love to have your organisation on board again!

The entire week, and much of the work we do with Early Learning Services, is proudly supported by Healthway!

Minister Winton
