Department of Health and Ageing
The Get up and grow: healthy eating and physical activity for early childhood guidelines and accompanying resources have been developed by child health and early childhood professionals in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. This collection of resources has been developed in consultation with people from urban, regional and remote locations, some with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, some from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, and some who care for children with a disability.
Four books have been developed in this series:
The Get up and grow resources are designed to be used in a wide range of early childhood settings by families, staff and carers.
The Director/coordinator book provides practical information and advice on early childhood healthy eating and physical activity, how to develop nutrition and physical activity policies and ways to support and encourage staff, carers and families. It includes copies of each of the resource books and a CD with additional materials, such as flyers for parents, posters and stickers for the setting, and 11 healthy eating and physical activity newsletter inserts.
