Challenges

In 2016, childhood obesity in South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) was identified as an issue of public health concern, prompting the launch of the Growing Healthy Kids (GHK) initiative. With broad cultural diversity and significant socio-economic challenges in the district, GHK aimed to provide parents and caregivers with easy access to the resources and information required to raise healthy children, addressing both immediate and long-term health concerns and pre-emptively reducing future strain on the health system.
