University of Wollongong
July 6-9 2004
Doug Hearne, ACHPER NSW, Australia




For the first time since 1984 ACHPER New South Wales will play host to the ACHPER National/International Biennial conference. The University of Wollongong, with its long-standing history and reputation in Physical and Health Education, will be the venue for what is shaping as an exciting and timely conference.
The conference will focus on issues around advocating physical activity, contemporary health issues, quality teaching and learning and improving community participation. Several highly respected keynote speakers have agreed to attend the conference to deliver lectures, symposiums and workshops around their current research. These include:
  • Dr Bill Dietz – and international expert in childhood obesity
  • Professor Don Hellison – an international expert in physical activity programs for at risk youth
  • Professor Jenny Gore – a national expert in quality teaching
An exciting social program is being organised including the conference opening reception on Tuesday evening, 6 July and conference dinner on Thursday evening, 8 July.
The call for papers is now open at www.achperconference.com and online registration for the conference will open in March 2004 at the same web address. The conference organisers are expecting to attract 350 national and international delegates to Wollongong for the conference. Regular conference updates will be posted on the site as the conference draws closer.
This conference will present a great opportunity to access some cutting edge research in Physical and Health Education as well provide time for delegates to network with colleagues and like minded professionals.
Come to Wollongong in July next year and “keep the dream alive”
