Infographic: Is Australia ready for a physical activity surveillance system?
Findings from workshops and survey feedback with policy makers investigating the feasibility of a comprehensive and standardised physical activity surveillance system in Australia.

Surveillance systems for physical activity should regularly monitor wider sociocultural, environmental and policy determinants, not only individual behaviours.
The current physical activity surveillance system is fragmented and lacking in nationwide standardisation. We investigated the feasibility of a comprehensive and standardised physical activity surveillance system in Australia.
