On 23 June 2020 we hosted another Healthy Choices implementation forum, with a key focus on initiatives that organisations have undertaken to maintain and sustain momentum of the Healthy Choices guidelines during COVID-19.

The online event forum featured presentations from the following sports and recreation centres, and hospitals and health services:

• The City of Greater Bendigo and Monash Health presented on planning for implementation and adapting in changing circumstances for sports and recreation centres.
• Seymour Health and Beaufort and Skipton Health Service provided insight into some adaptions that hospitals and health services have made at this time, as well as managing and communicating changes.
• Alfred Health presented on their sales findings in relation to vending machine labelling and nudge statements.
