26 Nov 2019 --- With two-thirds of the Australian population predicted to be overweight or obese by 2030, a ten-year-long national obesity strategy is set to be launched by the Australian and state and territory governments through the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Health Council. The government is now calling on stakeholders, organizations and community members to participate in an open consultation to help shape the strategy. However, experts have flagged that previous attempts to address the obesity crisis have failed and that significant investment will be key to success.
