What can we do to ensure access to nutritious food for all?Food security is becoming an important issue in Australia. A brief overview of the NCMPCP Food for the Future forum presentations highlighting some important issues and solutions is attached. Overall the forum rated well. Participants indicated that information covered by the program will help raise awareness of food security issues, provide direction for needs analysis and in developing policy. There was also interest in developing and contributing to networks. An on-going role for the PCPs in supporting food security issues in the region could be considered. This could include networking and information sharing between agencies |

Engaging Older CALD People in Physical Activity’Engaging Older CALD People in Physical Activity is the second forum offered by the Integrated Health Promotion committee of the North Central Metro Primary Care Partnership (NCMPCP). The forum aimed to share learnings from work taking place across the NCMPCP municipalities of Whittlesea, Darebin and Yarra. Presentations provided an opportunity to showcase the work from the three municipalities and learn from each others experiences. Each of the municipalities in the north central metro catchment records an increasing number of older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. These communities are also often over represented in the statistics for chronic disease. There is evidence for maintaining levels of physical activity throughout the life cycle as a preventive measure in developing chronic disease and for other social and mental health benefits. Encouraging CALD people, particularly older members of the community, to improve their levels of physical activity has proven to be difficult. This forum presented some of the work undertaken and highlighted some common indicators to successfully working with the older CALD community |
