Round 6 of the Active-Prem Study is now open and researchers are looking for Australian families to get involved.
👶 Children aged 3–5 years

The Active-Prem Study, led by The University of Melbourne, is exploring ways to support children born very preterm to become more active, confident and engaged in community-based physical activities.
By participating, you'll receive support and guidance while contributing to research that could improve outcomes for future children and families.
Here's what participating families have said when asked: "What did the program help you and your child with the most?”
💬 "Motivation to meet our goals like visiting new playgrounds regularly."
💬 "Trying out a new sport."
💬 "Being active as a family."
