Description

The Remote Indigenous Stores and Takeaways (RIST) Project was established in 2005 by the SA, WA, NT, QLD, NSW and Australian Government Health Departments to improve access to a healthy food supply for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in remote communities.

The project aim was to establish and improve standards for 'healthy' remote stores. To reach the goals of the project, the following resources have been developed:

Guidelines for stocking healthy food
Maximizing the shelf-life of fruit and vegetables
Marketing ideas for healthy food
Healthy fast food
Checklist: How healthy is your store?
Checklist: How healthy is your takeaway?
Freight improvement toolkit (2007)
Heart Foundation Buyer's Guide for managers of remote stores and takeaways
Keeping track of healthy food
Fruit and vegetable quantity spreadsheet (not yet available)

The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet has developed a specific page for the RIST resources. For a description of each resource view Remote Indigenous Stores and Takeaways resources web page.
