Community Events

National Nutrition Week is here!

From 13 - 19 October 2025, Nutrition Australia invites Australians of all ages to celebrate the role of food in connecting and nourishing us. Once again, our theme of inspiring a connected and nourished Australia encourages us to slow down, share mealtimes, and appreciate food - from where it comes from to the enjoyment of eating together.

Food is more than fuel. It’s a story, a tradition, a connection. Whether you’re at the dinner table with family, on a picnic rug with your little ones, at a café with friends, in the school yard with peers, or sharing lunch with workmates - every meal is an opportunity to connect.

This week, we invite you to celebrate the many ways that food nourishes us:

• Food connects us- to culture, community, and nature.
• Eat with Gratitude - Appreciate where food comes from, the effort behind it, and the journey from earth to plate. 
• Enjoy Eating Together - Sharing mealtimes nourishes us socially, culturally, emotionally and physically.
• Mealtimes Matter - encourage conversation and connection, from the playground or workplace to the dinner table.
• Grow, cook, share – Food brings us together - plant something, cook with family and friends, or get children involved.
• Nourish the Moment – slowing down, tasting and enjoying each mouthful.
