Canteen guidelines

In Australia, each state and territory has developed and implemented nutrition policies and guidelines for their schools and canteens. Public schools are required to abide by these policies, and independent and Catholic schools are strongly encouraged to adopt them.

On the Healthy Kids website, you’ll find more information about:

• NSW – Healthy School Canteen Strategy

• SA – Right Bite (currently undergoing review)
