Background of Selected health programme
In the views of Nutrition Australia (2018), community nutrition and health promotion
program are conducted in Australia to inspire people for health eating. It was founded in the
year 1979 and become incorporated in the year 1981. It is the non-profit, non-government,
community-based organization that has different offices in Australia. It delivers services
through Accredited Practicing Dietitians and Accredited Nutritionists. It also offers various
other services such as coordination of events in annual national nutrition week campaign, It
serves a wide variety of community sectors in terms of health and well-being programs for
volunteers as well as staff. Fertman and Allensworth (2016), argue that main focus of this
programme is to improve the health of employees and volunteers. It target the people who eat
unhealthy food and need to improve their health by keeping control on their diet.
In addition, Nutrition Australia (2018), states that these healthy programmes are required
everywhere whether in the country or outside the country. In my opinion “Community
Nutrition Health Programme” helps the targeted population to remain healthy by consuming
proper healthy food. “Community Nutrition Programme” impacts positively the targeted
people. In the support of the above author, Mason et al (2018), said that there are certain
benefits of getting aware of these healthy programmes. With the help of this programme

people can minimize their risk of getting suffers from any kind of disease. If anyone has the
problem in consuming food then this program helps the people to consume the food in an
appropriate manner and on time. With the help of “Community Nutrition and Health
Promotion Program” what kind of food is healthy to eat and what kind of food is not healthy
to eat (Happell et al., 2012). According to my views it also offers the people to join nutrition
course at a reasonable rate so that the people may improve their health as soon as possible.

and for this health is the first priority that would help the individual to attain success in the
life”. If the food is healthy then the people remain healthy for life time. The major concern of
this program is the safe food consumption by the people to remain healthy.

all the health promotion companies (Sallis et al., 2015). There are different Australian dietary
guidelines set by the government and each guideline is important to make aware of public
