Gippsland Lakes Complete Health’s Jaquie Nethercote is one of 10 winners in the first Vic Kids Eat Well Awards, which recognises amazing efforts by organisations to provide healthier food and drink options for kids across the state.
These awards celebrate Victorian schools, out-of-school-hours care (OSHC), sports clubs, community organisations, local health promotion teams and individuals, who demonstrated an outstanding commitment to boosting healthy, tasty food and drinks options for kids in 2022.
Vic Kids Eat Well is supported by the Victorian Government and is delivered by Cancer Council Victoria’s Achievement Program, in partnership with Nutrition Australia’s Healthy Eating Advisory Service.
Health Minister, Mary-Anne Thomas, congratulated the winners and nominees, and said it was impressive to see the positive difference that programs like Vic Kids Eat Well make at a local level.
“We want all Victorian children to enjoy a healthy, happy childhood. Programs like Vic Kids Eat Well are helping to set up our children for good health and future wellbeing,” Ms Thomas said.
