National Strategy on Body Image- Online Consultation

Autralian Federal govt has launched an online body image survey to support the Australian Government’s efforts in tackling negative body image.

The Online Consultation on Body Image is designed to gain insight into causes of negative body image and gather practical solutions for inclusion in the National Strategy on Body Image. (ED's are referred to in their info booklet PDF and i believe this strategy links in to compliment their national eating disorder strategy- raised earlier on this forum I think). Link is hosted on a national youth website but submissions on body image etc welcome from all genders/ all ages.

 

You can access the online consultation and add your two cents worth (priceless actually!) by visiting http://www.youth.gov.au/bodyimage.html

(but you need to scroll  down the page to actually find the "online consultation" link).
