It’s time for a nutrition boost in the ACT’s early childhood centres. We’re partnering with Nutrition Australia, urging the incoming ACT Government to strengthen the implementation of the National Quality Standards in the provision of food in early childhood education and care services. Over half of all children in the ACT attend early childhood education and care centres, where many will consume more than half of their meals within a working week.
