Healthy Choices: Food and drink guidelines for Victorian public hospitals

Hospitals can play a positive role to promote healthy and active lifestyles. To support this role, the Victorian Government has released Healthy Choices: Food and drink guidelines for Victorian public hospitals.

The guidelines provide a voluntary framework for hospitals to work towards increasing the provision and promotion of healthier food and drink options in their canteens, retail outlets and in vending machines.

The guidelines are part of the ‘Go for your life’ initiative: a cooperative framework across government to promote healthy eating and physical activity, and encourage structural changes to support healthier environments.
