We contribute to policy processes by submitting responses to government consultations on relevant policy issues.

We work closely with our partners, including the Food for Health Alliance, in developing our responses.

We seek to maximise alignment in our submissions with other major public health organisations, based on the best available scientific evidence and best practice from a public health perspective.
