Nutrition Experts Call for Improvements in Australia’s School Canteens

School canteens play a key role in supporting children’s health and wellbeing. The challenges faced by the sector, including a lack of secure funding, have prompted many to call for the government to invest in funding and research for Australia’s school canteens.

Late February saw the Federation of Canteens in Schools (FOCIS) host a national roundtable discussion to confer about the future of canteens in Australian schools.

FOCIS Chairperson Leanne Elliston chats with Jeff Bullen about school canteens and children’s nutrition on On The Record.
