What we do

Overweight and obesity are influenced by an individual's physical, social and economic environment. Therefore, individuals must be viewed within the broader context of his/her neighbourhood, school, and community, together with policy at the local, state and national level.

Stemming the rising rates of overweight and obesity will take concerted action at all levels of civil society, the private sector and government. 

The OPC aims to influence change in policy and regulation that will support obesity prevention, particularly in children. 

We do this through a number of processes, including:

• writing position papers and preparing submissions around policy and regulatory issues, and
• making complaints about breaches of self-regulatory codes and regulations, particularly in relation to practices used to market unhealthy food to children.
