What is the Premier's Council for Active Living?

The Premier's Council for Active Living (PCAL) aims to build and strengthen the physical and social environments in which communities engage in active living. It comprises senior representatives from across government, industry and the community sector. It was established in 2004 and follows on from the NSW Physical Activity Taskforce, which met between 1996 and 2002.

PCAL's Terms of Reference are to:

• Provide leadership and advice to the Premier to encourage more people, to be more active, more often
• Initiate and manage partnerships and harness resources, across government, non-government organisations and the private sector
• Work collaboratively with key organisations to develop a comprehensive physical activity strategy for NSW
• Make recommendations for mechanisms to implement and monitor progress against the strategy
• Report to the Premier every year.
