Always a pleasure to connect with — and learn from — my Queensland counterpart, Dr Rob & the Health and Wellbeing Queensland team. We’re here in Brisbane for the next days, joining more than ten health promotion agencies from across Asia and the Pacific. Sharing ideas, for collective progress.

We don't want Big Tobacco to get our kids hooked on nicotine. Since our world leading laws came into effect we've seized 5 million vapes, keeping them out of the hands of kids.

Yesterday on #WorldFoodDay we shared why, until Health Star Ratings (HSR) are mandatory, consumers are left guessing about the healthiness of food. Mandatory HSR usage on all eligible products will ensure Australians make healthier choices about what they eat.

Thank you, Ally Langdon and A Current Affair for including @alikjones in last night's piece on Health Star Ratings. The system's voluntary nature is an issue, and we look forward to that changing in 2025! bit.ly/3NyLQnD

Tobacco is the only product that will kill two out of three of its users. That's why we support the tobacco licensing scheme proposed by the state government today - it's critical for the health of Victorians. Read our statement: vichealth.vic.gov.au/news-publicati…

VicHealth welcomes today’s announcement by the Victorian Government to introduce a tobacco retail licensing scheme. A tobacco licensing scheme will remove dishonest sellers from the market, protecting kids and the Victorian community. vichealth.vic.gov.au/news-publicati…

NEW FIGURES: Our latest FoodSwitch data confirms just 36% of packaged foods in Australia display their Health Star Rating - well short of the 60% voluntary target due tomorrow. Food Ministers must hold the line and make the system mandatory ASAP. bit.ly/4fCMhcU
