dots Health and physical education teachers work in promoting physical activity and health, particularly in schools but also in the broader community. They plan and teach socially critical health and physical education programs, as well as school sporting and outdoor education programs. They frequently link with other health professionals in implementing perceptual motor programs for younger children and incorporating specialised intervention programs (e.g. drug education, mental health) into the school curriculum.

Health and physical education teachers work in a range of settings including:

  • primary, secondary or special schools
  • education authorities
  • health promotion
  • community recreation
