Healthy Weight 2008 – Australia's Future. The National Action Agenda for Young People and their Families

Overview

The National Obesity Taskforce put its report and a national action agenda for children, young people and their families to Australian Health Ministers in November 2003. Healthy Weight 2008 - Australia's Future - The National Action Agenda for Children and Young People and their Families recommends actions across a range of settings such as child care, schools, primary care, maternal and infant health care, neighbourhoods, workplaces, food supply, family and community services, media and marketing. The focus is on children and young people.

In November 2003, Australian Health Ministers asked the National Obesity Taskforce to lead and coordinate the implementation of Healthy Weight 2008 and to develop further advice on strategies to address obesity in adults and older Australians.
