About Us

Thank you for your interest in ACHPER (SA). Please let me outline a little about ACHPER and display the benefits of membership.

ACHPER is a professional association that caters for students and professionals in a wide range of areas. ACHPER is concerned with the provision and quality of physical activity, recreation, personal development, health promotion and education in all education institutions from pre-primary through to the tertiary sector. ACHPER allows the opportunity for people in various interest areas to meet, share ideas, network and develop relationships.

ACHPER has 4 main areas of focus:

• Physical Education & Sport
• Recreation
• Health Education
• Dance

ACHPER provides up to date information on strategies, research, policy information and projects aimed at creating community awareness about a healthy lifestyle. Useful resources are a major part of membership. These resources include ACHPER Matters, a publication that covers our focus areas, The ACHPERTISER, State newsletter which updates ACHPER (SA) activities, and a National Publication (either the Healthy Lifestyles Journal or the Active & Healthy Magazine)
