Conditions of entry

Food and drink products

Only food and drink products that are registered in the Healthy Kids Product Registration Scheme can be exhibited and promoted at the Healthy Kids Expo 2023, and must meet the school canteen guidelines in the state/territory where the Expo is occurring. This applies to both food and drink companies, and non-food and drink companies who intend to use foods and drinks as props or to promote their services.

  • For food and drink companies with Healthy Kids Registered Products – please refer to your 2023 Certificates of Registration
  • For non-food and drink companies – please refer to the NSW School Canteen Buyers’ Guide 2023 and the ACT School Canteen Buyers’ Guide 2023: https://healthy-kids.com.au/what-is-the-food-industry/buyers-guide/

Healthy Kids Product Registration is only valid while each product has the same specifications and packaging as when the products were registered, and Certificates of Registration were issued. Therefore, if any changes have or are going to occur to any product specifications or packaging before the Healthy Kids Expos 2023, Healthy Kids must be notified and changes must be reviewed at least two weeks prior to the event.

Promotional materials

All promotional materials that appear at the Healthy Kids Expos 2023 (e.g. flyers, brochures, product catalogues etc.) must be submitted to Healthy Kids Association for approval at least two weeks prior to the event. To ensure that your resources are approved, please ensure they meet these Conditions of Exhibiting and the Healthy Kids Advertising Guidelines 2023.

Failure to have all materials reviewed and approved by Healthy Kids prior to the Healthy Kids Expos 2023 will result in your company not being able to display or distribute these materials on the day.
