Every 8 weeks, the Healthy Ways campaign highlights a new health message. Introducing our next focus: Growing healthy kids!

This message is all about supporting kids to grow up strong. Growing healthy kids takes a whole community – passing on culture, traditions and healthy habits that will help them build skills for a strong future.

Lots of families have asked for ideas on healthy food for kids in CEQ stores. We know that kids at school need good food for their bodies and brains. A healthy lunch box supports good learning and good growing.

To align with Nutrition Australia’s National Lunchbox week, CEQ stores will be promoting healthy lunchbox options with healthy end displays, posters and booklets full of ideas to help families pack healthier lunches.

We invite you to join in promoting Healthy Ways in your community.

If you would like to conduct some health promotion activities at one of our stores or collaborate with our Nutrition & Health team, please get in touch via nutrition@ceqld.org.au

Born from many rich conversations with our First Nations team members at CEQ and our customers, the campaign reflects a shared desire to see more promotion of healthier choices in our stores.

When discussing healthy lifestyles, many people spoke proudly of their ancestors and how they lived strong, healthy lives through traditional practices and connections to land, food, and family.

These stories inspired the campaign’s name: Healthy Ways – Old Ways Are Our Future Ways, honouring traditional knowledge of health and bringing it to the heart of our campaign.

CEQ are working to create healthier store environments and promote health for our customers through a range of actions including refreshing store layouts and strengthening the availability and affordability of healthy products.

Working together with these actions, this campaign aims to highlight these healthy products in store – making healthy ways easier to see and choose.
