At The Obesity Collective, we are committed to supporting initiatives that prioritise the health and well-being of all Australians, particularly children. We are proud to align with campaigns that focus on addressing harmful product marketing and promoting healthier environments. We support our advisors who are working diligently to drive policy and advocacy initiatives to improve nutrition and reduce health risks because of higher weight and obesity among children.
The Brands Off Our Kids campaign by the Food for Health Alliance is a key initiative aimed at reducing the impact of junk food marketing on young Australians. With rising rates of childhood overweight and obesity, this campaign advocates for stricter regulations to keep unhealthy food advertising out of spaces frequently accessed by children, including schools and social media platforms. By backing this campaign, we hope to contribute to a healthier future for the next generation.
Additionally, we are pleased to support FARE’s Harmful Product Marketing Statement, which brings attention to the pervasive influence of unhealthy product marketing—be it junk food, alcohol, or other harmful products—on vulnerable populations. This statement urges governments to implement stronger policies that protect consumers from exploitative marketing strategies that undermine public health efforts.
Together, these initiatives represent critical steps toward creating healthier food environments and reducing the burden of preventable diseases across Australia.
