Leadership and Coordination

There are many local and statewide programs promoting healthy eating and physical activity in children’s settings. However, many of these programs are not coordinated at a state level. Kids – ‘Go for your life’ aims to provide leadership and coordinate effort across Victoria, while building the capacity of local communities to respond to localized issues.
