The NCAA has been established to bring together key agencies and stakeholders to act as a collective voice and champion the cause of promoting physical activity with older people. At it’s parliamentary launch the Coalition stated:

Despite the sharp decline in levels of activity with increased age, there is little or no action by Government to promote physical activity for older adults. Addressing this is of paramount importance in our ageing society.
