Webinar - Have your say on a national obesity strategy
Event Information
About this event
The COAG Health Council has committed to developing a national obesity strategy. A series of community forums are being held around the country to inform the development of the strategy.
The forums are targeted at community members and community organisations. We want to hear from people about what would help to reduce overweight and obesity in communities and to get feedback about what should be included in a national obesity strategy.

About the consultation process
The Australian and state and territory governments through the COAG Health Council have agreed to develop a national obesity strategy.
Public consultation provides an opportunity for all Australians to have their say about what should be included in a national obesity strategy. The strategy focuses on what government will do and how government can work with communities, non-government organisations and industry to create environments that support a healthy weight and empower individuals and communities.
A consultation paper, which includes a range of ideas and options that might be included in a national obesity strategy is available on the Commonwealth Department of Health consultation hub. You can also have your say via an online survey.
For questions about the community forum to inform a national obesity strategy, please contact the engagement facilitators, The Social Deck, on engage@thesocialdeck.com or phone 0491 617 118.
