The food supply and our food environments dictate the choices we can make for ourselves about what we eat and drink. But too often, we are limited to less nutritious foods and drinks, which restricts our choices.
National Nutrition Foundation’s work increases the availability and promotion of healthier food and drinks by working to apply evidence-informed approaches to transform food systems.
We collaborate with governments and public health organisations to deliver on their preventive health priorities, and make a collective impact.
We also work with businesses and other organisations to increase the availability and promotion of nutritious foods and drinks in the community, such as early childhood, schools, hospitals, and retail food environments.
Our work equips Australians with more choice in the food supply, retail outlets, and community settings.
Whether it’s choosing what to eat at home, or increasing the amount of healthier options in your food business, National Nutrition Foundation empowers Australians to make informed choices about food and drinks for themselves, and the people they care for.
We promote credible, evidence-based, and practical information through collaborations with governments, organisations, and communities to amplify our message, and build the capacity to create healthier food environments.
And we’ve been doing it for over 45 years.
National Nutrition Foundation drives social change by advocating for policies and initiatives that enable all Australians to enjoy nutritious foods and drinks.
Through our programs and services, information, media and advocacy, we’re changing the social and political culture around food, and making healthier foods and drinks the norm.
We’re also shifting the dial on what it means to eat well. We support Australians to have healthy relationships with food, to embrace the many ways that food enriches our lives, and to understand the impact that our lives can have on our food choices.
National Nutrition Foundation is a new brand, with a proud 45-year history.
National Nutrition Foundation was previously known as Nutrition Australia Vic Division. As a state-based division of Nutrition Australia, we have been collaborating on national initiatives and delivering local services in Vic, SA, Tas, and WA since 1979.
Now, as an independent national not-for-profit organisation, National Nutrition Foundation takes a fresh approach, by working at all levels across the country to enable all Australians to enjoy nutritious foods and drinks.
