Every 8 weeks, the Healthy Ways campaign shines a light on a new health message. We’re excited to introduce our next focus: Real food, real energy.

This message celebrates everyday foods and drinks that help families feel fuller for longer and provide steady energy throughout the day — to learn, work and play. By showcasing healthier snack and drink options through Healthy End displays and other in‑store prompts, we’re supporting families to choose foods that fuel strong bodies and minds, without the sugar highs and crashes.

Alongside this positive focus, friendly reminders placed around the store share the message “You’re sweet enough – choose healthy ways”, encouraging families to rethink sugary foods and drinks and make small, practical swaps while shopping — supporting long‑term health for communities.

Keep an eye out for Healthy Ways messages, wobblers and Healthy End displays in your local CEQ store next time you shop.

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.
