Under questioning from a Senate inquiry on Thursday, Dr Brendan Murphy said he felt “community sport was a really important thing”.
“There are ways to make it safer. The national cabinet will have to weigh up the public health risks verses the clear benefits of re-establishing community sport,” he said.
But the prime minister, when asked, said he would prefer to ease restrictions on lower-risk activities.
"I wouldn't be offering a view on that. What we are seeking to do is focus on those activities that are more low-health-risk and more high-economic-value," he said.
"My priorities are to get kids back to school, to get people back to work. That's what my priority is."
