Healthier Choices Canberra: sign your business up
Healthier Choices Canberra makes it easier for Canberrans to find tasty, fresh, and healthier food and drink options. We partner with local businesses to increase the visibility and appeal of healthy food and drink for Canberrans.
Canberrans have told us that they’re looking for healthier options at the places they visit regularly – such as supermarkets, licensed clubs, restaurants, and cafes.

Being part of the program is low effort and high reward. It’ll give you the healthy glow of these benefits:
- promoting your business across our media channels
- free support and in-store tools
- be top-of-mind with menu items that help your customers feel good
- boost staff pride and loyalty by doing good for your community
- be a local leader in your community by prioritising the health and wellbeing of your community.
You're probably already promoting a healthier Canberra without knowing it.
Other businesses use ideas like these:
- Make fruit and veg the star in some of your specials and post them on social media – use cheaper seasonal produce.
- Happy to fill customer water bottles? Promote yourself under Refill Canberra. Free publicity is good publicity.
- Swap things up, so bright and fresh options are front and centre – placement can increase impulse buys.
