Go for healthy eating

Making the right food choices can be complicated. Go4Fun works with children and families to understand what’s best for young bodies, and adjust lifestyle behaviours for healthy living.

Go for fun and fitness

Physical activity doesn’t have to be boring. With the help of our Go4Fun activity targets, children and their families can discover fun exercise for kids and new ways to get fitter and stay active.

Go for extra confidence

By taking part in Go4Fun and making a few key changes, families learn to make healthier choices so that they can live their best lives.

It’s not always easy to tell if a child is a healthy weight for their age and height.

Children and teenagers need to grow, but they are healthiest if they stay within a certain weight range as they grow. This is called a healthy weight for their age.

It is a really great program; it has helped us. Not just Nathaniel, but myself and my daughter as well. So it does have a rippling effect on the family.

Join the program. It’s a great initiative, it’s free, it’s offered by the government, it doesn’t take too much of their time and they learn so much information.

Watching her learn and actually actioning it. So we will be at the supermarket and finding healthier alternatives. It affects their attitudes as well.
