Welcome! 

Thanks for joining us as we share the latest updates from the the Centre for Retail Excellence in Food Retail Environments for Health – known as “RE-FRESH”.

Our aim is to transform the retail food environments in which people buy their food and beverages to promote healthier diets to realise our vision for all people to live free from the burden of diet-related chronic health conditions.

Our team is focused on high quality cross-disciplinary research and collaboration to build the evidence, methods and tools needed to accelerate the uptake of proven healthy food retail initiatives in remote, regional and urban settings in Australia, and internationally — strengthened through our solid partnerships with government and non-government organisations, community organisations and food retailers.
