Junk Food Advertising

In reply to the Hon. R.A. SIMMS ().15 May 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

The Restriction of Unhealthy Food Advertising on South Australian Government Assets Working Group (the working group) was established in December 2023 and includes representation from Preventive Health SA, Department for Infrastructure and Transport and Department for Health and Wellbeing.

The government of South Australia recently undertook a targeted consultation process to understand the challenges and opportunities related to the proposed policy approach. The consultation process occurred via the online YourSAY engagement platform.

Feedback received from the consultation process will be considered to inform the final policy proposal to be considered by government.
