Overview

The Australian and Food Grocery Council (AFGC) has partnered with the Federal Government to undertake a national diet and physical activity survey of children 2-15 years - the focus of the Government's Healthy Weight 2008 strategy. The AFGC contributed $1m to initiate this survey and to encourage the Government to commit to an ongoing program of monitoring the diet and physical activity of Australians in all age groups. It has done so as a public good, and the information will be made publicly available.The project will be managed by a steering group that is advised on the design and execution of the survey by a reference group of independent experts.
