Good Tucker Good Health (Wimmera PCP)
Wimmera Primary Care Partnership/PCP coordinated The Good Tucker Good Health project to address the priority areas of healthy eating, physical activity and social connection. The project aimed to provide an opportunity for Horsham Primary School students, parents/guardians and Aboriginal community members to physically contribute to the development and maintenance of a school fruit, vegetable and bush tucker garden.
Sea Change Portland And Gen8 Change (Southern Grampians Glenelg PCP)
Southern Grampians Glenelg Primary Care Partnership acknowledged that their programmatic work towards healthy eating and physical activity was not making an impact on obesity in the community. A partnership was formed with Global Obesity Centre (GLOBE) at Deakin University and they commenced co-creating an approach towards changes at multiple levels of the system, and mobilisation of the broader community to become change makers. There was an agreement that children need to be the primary target group for this work, whilst recognising the whole community needs to engage in taking action to provide universal benefit.
Making Physical Activity A Priority (Central Hume PCP)
The Alpine Active Living Mapping Project aimed to understand why local Alpine communities were not meeting Australian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines and to identify barriers and opportunities for physical activity that existed locally. Data from a physical activity survey revealed that the Alpine Shire had less than 50% of its population undertaking sufficient physical activity with 30% of the population being overweight and 18% obese. The project started with research and community consultation and made a range of recommendations, which resulted in an Active Alpine Group being established, who developed an action plan in 2019.
Mount Alexander Food Pantry (Central Victorian PCP)
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Mount Alexander Shire local community has been particularly felt by those in hospitality, tourism, artistic communities and those already experiencing disadvantage. People were suddenly unemployed and food security became an issue for the first time. Mount Alexander Shire does not have a local food bank. However, some organisations have provided relief but with limited capacity. In response to the increased demand for food relief, Central Victorian Primary Care Partnership brought together a group of local organisations and community groups to develop a centralised food relief system.
Responding to Local Food Security Needs During The Covid-19 Pandemic (Central West Gippsland PCP)
The Central West Gippsland Primary Care Partnership has a strong history of supporting food security work across Baw Baw and Latrobe. This strong foundation and understanding of food security at a local level has meant that we were able to readily mobilise, together with our members and community groups, and assist our communities to access nutritious foods during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
