This document is a policy framework focused on strengthening food security and nutrition across Australia. It highlights the principles, priority actions and whole-of-system considerations for nutrition in Australia. It argues that Australia must coordinate government action and regulation towards food literacy, nutrition and access to healthy food to support schools and communities.
restrict unhealthy food ads, monitor nutrition security, embed first nations leadership strategy in governance, enforce healthy food standards in public institutions
introduce compulsory food prep and nutrition education in schools, reductions in reliance on ultra-processed foods, strengthen federal-state collaboration on food
resilient food system, measurable improvements in diet quality and population health
At the National Nutrition Foundation we support the work these policies do to address food insecurity and nutrition across Australia.
Across our FreshSNAP (School Nutrition Advisory Program) we aim to create sustainable, positive food environments across schools in Western Australia. We work to implement the nutrition education necessary to improve food literacy for children from Kindergarten to Year 10.
The Healthy Eating Advisory Service (HEAS) further supports Victorian organisations to lead change across food and drink policies and guidelines. HEAS supports a individuals in a range of settings including early childhood services, outside school hours, schools and tertiary education, health services, sport and recreation facilities and more to improve their nutrition literacy and access to a positive food environment.
We’d love to help.
