National Nutrition Week shines a light on our biggest challenges and opportunities.
Inspiring a connected and nourished Australia
National Nutrition Week is about shining a light on the challenges, and opportunities, within Australia’s food landscape. From supporting children’s relationships with food to reducing waste, strengthening mental wellbeing, and ensuring equitable access to nutritious food, this week is a call to action for communities, policymakers, and organisations across the country.
Food nourishes more than our bodies. It is connection, culture, learning and enjoyment. It contributes to our physical health, mental wellbeing and relationships.
Together, we can create a future where everyone is connected and nourished.
Celebrating National Nutrition Week
National Nutrition Week has been our flagship annual campaign since 1984. While our campaign messaging has evolved over this time, our passion for celebrating nutritious food is as strong today as it was back then. During National Nutrition Week 2025 we celebrated the many ways that people, families, communities and organisations across the country can be connected and nourished through food.
