Thank you to our great members Audrey Elford @penelopevlove Alison Spence this is a great contribution. It would be great to hear how government and NFP organisation are fostering sustainable food choices in ECEC - tag us and tell us how.

An important read Jane Martin - can you recommend a paper which outlines how parents/ECEC staff can protect children as an interim measure - and can you tell us what would be the one thing that would have the greatest impact in policy? Thank you

A must listen - How do families experience ECEC ?

It is great to see evidence based resources available for Australian family Day care - thank you for sharing Georgie Tran

What a great idea to share the body of evidence - are you able to share the abstracts or provide a recording for those that can't attend in persons? - 20th November event

This is shocking. There are numerous resources to support infant feeding which can support the narrative for ECEC parents and staff - check them out growandgotoolbox.com

Nutrition is a foundational requirement for developmental and health outcomes - can you direct the readers to a statement which supports this and thus promotes inclusion in policy to prioritise healthy food environments in practice.

A great addition to the suite of resources for ECEC

It would be great to hear more about this program - please share a link

Free on the ground nutrition support is only available in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania - this support is critical for supporting quality in ECEC and should be a priority for other states to foster health and developmental outcomes of children aged 0-5 years.

It would be great to do a follow up evaluation to see how ECEC services are going 4 years on Alice Grady HNE Health

Interesting to see recognition of food price increase in the UK.

Thank you CRE_EPOCH we have an amazing team dedicated to system level change to facilitate quality food environments in ECEC. A priority is provision of free on the ground nutrition support for ECEC services in every Australian jurisdiction - currently only in 3 !

Thank you for sharing the resource link John Cherry , these documents a critically important for those working with ECEC.

Great and bold question from @KBackholer to our panel MPs - when is Australia going to get real about giving some actual social security and income support? #FoodGovernance2024

In 2022-23, Australians consumed less of all major food groups including veges & milk with consumption of energy and sports drinks & chicken dishes like nuggets rising: abs.gov.au/media-centre/m… Australian Bureau of Statistics PHAA is on Bluesky Melissa Sweet Dietitians Australia Food for Health Alliance Obesity Australia Australian Health Promotion Association (AHPA)

Wonderful research from our members Dr Lisa Vincze @irwin_cg - system approaches are critical in benchmarking expectations for ECEC food environments - including policies at a service level.

It was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Dietitians Australia and support the launch of their call to action for ECEC food environments. Rebecca Byrne @penelopevlove Leanne Elliston Kirsty Elliott Ekavi and Tiffany
