Eat Well Queensland 2002 - 2012

Smart Eating for a Healthier State

Food and Nutrition is one of a number of issues prioritised by the Forum for action.  A Food and Nutrition Working Group has been established to progress the work of the Forum.

The role of the working group is to:

• provide advice on priority public health nutrition and food issues to the Queensland Public Health Forum
• provide a forum for building partnerships and consultation in relation to public health nutrition and food with various sectors and organisations in Queensland
• oversee the implementation of Eat Well Queensland, the Queensland Public Health Food and Nutrition Strategy. The aim of Eat Well Queensland is to improve the health and wellbeing of all Queenslanders through better food and nutrition.

The final version of Eat Well Queensland was developed after wide consultation across Queensland, including distribution of a discussion paper and first draft, and stakeholder workshops held in Brisbane and 10 regional centres.

Eat Well Queensland 2002-2012: Smart Eating for a Healthier State was endorsed by the Queensland Public Health Forum in June 2002. [summary]

In 2008, a comprehensive mid-point review of the Eat Well Queensland strategy was conducted, addressing achievements so far and produced the report Eat Well Queensland: Are we half way there yet? Mid-Point Implementation Review Summary of Findings.
