Childrens Health
A Wellbeing Plan for Aussie Kids
A Wellbeing Plan for Aussie Kids has been developed by CSIRO to provide parents with information on healthy foods and habits. The aim of this Plan is to make eating well and being active a higher priority for all families.
Child Health
A good start in life is important to the health and wellbeing of children. This Department of Health and Ageing page outlines many of the activities being undertaken to enhance child health and wellbeing.
Child Health
From before birth through to young adulthood there are a range of health issues that affect our children. HealthInsite's Child Health topic covers many of those issues, from general childhood illnesses, eating and obesity to accidents and injuries and particular stages of life, such as teenage independence. HealthInsite provides links to some of Australia's most authoritative health organisations and their websites.
Nutrition and Healthy Eating
The Government provides guidelines and recommendations for Australians to encourage healthy eating that will minimise the risk of the development of diet-related diseases within the Australian population.
Promoting Healthy Weight
Specific information on overweight and obesity is provided, including: prevalence of overweight and obesity; How overweight and obesity is defined; Calculate your BMI (for adults only); Causes of overweight and obesity; Health consequences; Economic consequences.
Working Together for a Healthy, Active Australia
The site provides access to practical information and up-dates, news for families, parents, teenagers, children and their carers and older Australians on healthy eating, regular physical activity, overweight and obesity, particularly for children and adolescents and active living.
