The Australia New Zealand Paediatric Obesity Network is a group of professionals working in the area of childhood obesity. We recognise that often people working in this area have limited professional support or communication with others in similar roles, so endeavour to provide a space for communication, topics of interest and questions to be asked and answered in a supportive environment. We span Australia and New Zealand currently so meet virtually once every two months for an hour, with a set topic and facilitator at each meeting. Topics can range from clinical case studies to research to policy, clinical guidelines and health systems issues (including funding) in the areas of paediatric weight management and healthy lifestyle programmes.  

Please get in touch with us if you would like to be a member of this group or learn more about it – our current administrators can be reached at:
