Essentially the Committee with the relevant volunteers e.g. canteen operators, social committee, kitchen staff, need to make a commitment to the provision of safe and healthy food. The former is prescribed by law so is not flexible, however in formulating the contents of a healthy eating / food provision policy, there are a number of things you can consider. See below for some prompters:

• Meeting all regulations prescribed by the Food Act
• Having all volunteers who work in the canteen participate in an induction to food handling
• Requesting that canteen volunteers do the online food safety training
• Setting targets for the proportion of healthy foods on offer
• Adopting healthier cooking methods
• Pricing which promotes healthy food choices
• Displaying healthy food options more prominently
• Buying local only
• Restricting time of sale for certain items e.g. confectionary, soft drinks not available before...
• Moving to smaller serves of less healthy items
• Commiting to offer healthy options at club functions also
• Deciding to phase out sponsorship from food and sugary drink industries
• Removing vending machines
• Providing culturally appropriate foods for members and spectators from diverse cultural backgrounds
