Eat Well Victoria partnership
Page content: Membership | Current activity | Forum series The Eat Well Victoria Partnership (EWVP) was established by the Department of Human Services (DHS) in early 2001. The membership of EWVP includes key Public Health Nutrition stakeholder organisations and individuals in Victoria. Stakeholder organisations include:
- DHS
- Dietitians Association of Australia
- Nutrition Australia
- National Heart Foundation
- Diabetes Australia - Victoria
- VicHealth
- Deakin University
- Monash University
- The Cancer Council Victoria
Membership also includes individuals with expertise in Public Health Nutrition relevant to the groups' current work focus. The EWVP believes that a coordinated and shared approach to Public Health Nutrition will provide greater capacity and opportunity for change over time. The ultimate purpose is to create an environment to facilitate active contribution to the improvement of health and the reduction of the burden of diet-related illness, disease, disability, and early death in an equitable way across communities. EWVP is a strategic level group and it is anticipated that the combined effort of the group will result in more effective advocacy and a common vision to address priority issues. The Terms of Reference for the EWVP are based on the national nutrition strategic framework developed by the Strategic Inter-Governmental Nutrition Alliance (SIGNAL) and detailed in Eat Well Australia: A Strategic Framework for Public Health Nutrition, 2000 - 2001(below).

Forum series Forum content: Past forums | Upcoming forums In a joint initiative the Eat Well Victoria Partnership and the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing will present an on-going series of forums to promote Public Health Nutrition research and developmental work occurring in Victoria. These forums will occur approximately every six months and will be at no or minimal cost to people with a professional interest in nutrition. These forums will be an avenue for:
- Dissemination of information to health professionals, academics and researchers who work or have a professional interest in nutrition.
- Provision of constructive feedback to staff implementing funded projects from people with a broad range of expertise in the area of nutrition.
- Opportunistic consultation with key professionals by government departments and other key organisations as input to policy development and research.
- Networking for the purpose of potential collaboration on future research and developmental project activities.
- Increased potential for media exposure for nutrition-related research and resource development activities in Victoria and broader.
All professionals with an interest in Public Health Nutrition are invited to attend these forums.
Previous forums Forthcoming forums There are currently no forums scheduled for 2004.
