Social media – providing our members an advocacy platform

Mar 27, 2023 | Highlights of actions, Inspiring stories

We are inviting our new members to join us on social media for a new campaign, #TOCmember

Social media is a powerful tool we can use for social change.

We’ve initiated the #TOCmember campaign because many members have asked us how they can spread the word about the Collective and publicly share their support of our principles.

It is valuable and inspirational for us to highlight the broad range of impressive members and community leaders from all parts of the system including clinicians, consumers, public health experts, systems leaders, advocates and researchers who have committed to working collectively to reduce the impact and stigma of overweight and obesity in Australia.

Not a member yet? Join here!
