Let’s celebrate everything there is to love about food!

From shopping and prepping to cooking and sharing, when we ‘Love what we eat’, meals become more than just fuel. They’re delicious, balanced and mindful moments that nourish us and bring people together to connect, laugh, and share.

We’re excited to launch our Healthy Eating Hub in time for National Nutrition Week 2025. Our first official campaign, ‘Love what you eat’, is packed with free, practical resources to help Australians celebrate every step of the eating journey.

Pantry Platter: a busy mum’s secret weapon!

Some nights, you don’t have time (or energy) for a full cook. That’s why we lean into the Pantry Platter — a build-your-own dinner straight from what you already have in the pantry, fridge & freezer.

What we throw together:
• Canned beans or lentils for protein
• Canned veg (corn, peas, mushrooms, beetroot etc)
• A little cheese or fresh tomato if you have them
• Wholegrain crackers, rice, couscous, or grain pouches
• Nuts or seeds for crunch
• Fruit

Why it works:
✅ Fast — you can get dinner on the table in 5–10 mins
✅ Flexible — everyone picks & builds their own plate
✅ Balanced — fibre, protein, veg, fruit
✅ Kid-friendly — children can assemble what they want

This is real life nourishment in under 10 minutes!

Fast food shouldn’t be the only option on our streets.

The rapid spread of fast-food outlets in Victoria’s growth corridors, highlighted in a recent article by @theageaustralia, is not just a planning issue. It’s a public health issue.

Evidence shows that when communities are saturated with fast food and have limited access to fresh, healthy options, rates of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease climb. In Greater Geelong, the average household is 1,153 metres from a fast-food outlet while the nearest supermarket or green grocer is 1,294 metres away. In some lower-income postcodes, fresh food stores can be up to 14 kilometres away with limited walking, cycling and public transport infrastructure. Compare this to an inner city suburb like St Kilda where it's just 400 metres to the nearest fresh food store.

“People always say [healthy eating is] an individual choice, but at the end of the day, it’s actually not."

As a national leader in nutrition advocacy, we are calling for:
- Health-focused planning rules that give councils the power to enforce density limits on fast-food outlets
- Greater investment in fresh food access for all communities, especially in high growth areas and around schools and other places where children spend their time
- Stronger policies that put public health ahead of profit.
- Everyday foods, in everyday places

It’s time to shift the balance so our kids grow up with streets full of healthy options, not just more drive-throughs.

👋 A very warm welcome to Andie, our new Project Officer for HEAS!

Andie’s love of food and the way it connects people first inspired her to study nutrition and dietetics. While completing a Master of Dietetics at Victoria University, she built hands-on experience in community programs that empower people with nutrition knowledge and confidence.

Most recently, she worked with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation through the Sons of the West program, running cooking sessions that combined healthy eating, skill-building, and community connection. This sparked her passion for working in the public health space.

Andie is excited to be part of the HEAS team and contribute to building healthier food environments across Victoria.

Outside of work, you’ll often find her at farmers markets, exploring new restaurants, or spending time with friends and family.

💚 We’re so excited to have Andie on board and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make!

📸 Highlights from this week's media launch for the 'Managing allergies and other dietary requirements in children's education and care' training and resources!

We were thrilled to welcome public health leaders, early childhood experts and industry partners, all united by a shared goal: safe, nutritious and inclusive food in early childhood services.

On the day we heard from @nationalnutritionfoundation Co-CEO Margaret Rozman, @nationalallergycouncil CEO Sandra Vale, Victorian State Public Health Nutritionist Julie-Anne McWhinnie, @heas_vic Nutrition Manager Jodie McGough, Bloom Early Learning Centre Chef Vaishali Patel and Aparajitha Rajagopalan, a parent of a child with multiple food allergies.

We are very proud to officially launch this free, evidence-based training which was developed by the Healthy Eating Advisory Service with support from the Victorian Government, in partnership with the National Allergy Council.

Together, we’re equipping cooks and educators with the practical tools and knowledge to confidently meet the diverse dietary needs of children in early childhood services, without compromising on nutrition, safety or inclusion.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this important milestone. We can't wait to see the positive impact the training and resources will have in services across Victoria and Australia.
