Healthy Food Access Tasmania

We've been working on several projects with local governments across Tasmania, big and small.

The Healthy Food Access Tasmania project has produced Local Government Food Access Profiles for 28 of the state's 29 municipalities.

The profiles include information about:

why access to healthy food matters
where healthy food, particularly fruit and vegetables, are readily available for purchase in the municipality
local data about households who may have poor access to healthy food
price and affordability for healthy food
a framework for how to use a systems approach to making households more resilient to healthy eating
local highlights of projects and programs
suggestions for future action for the local government area.

Final report: Availability, cost and affordability of a basket of healthy food in Tasmania (PDF)

We acknowledge the financial and other support from the federal Department of Health through Tasmania Medicare Local.
