WASCA is a not-for-profit, non-government health promotion charity organisation based in Western Australia formed in 1994. WASCA assists canteens and other food services to provide and promote healthy choices and operate economically viable and professional businesses. We do this by empowering food services with training, practical tools, information and advice as well as working in partnership with schools and the wider community, government, food industry, workplaces and other non-government organisations. WASCA is working closely with the Department of Education to support schools to implement and maintain the Healthy Food and Drinks Policy.

Traffic Light Training and food safety – in-person Join us for Traffic light training or Food safety and hygiene training or both. Schools on their own cannot solve the child obesity epidemic but it cannot be resolved without them. Children and adolescents consume 19-50% of their daily energy requirements at school and spend more time there compared with any other environment outside of the home. Since 2007, the Western Australian Department of Education has had a Healthy Food and Drink policy which uses a Traffic light system to support the supply of healthy food and drinks in schools. Food safety and hygiene training is required training for all canteen volunteers and staff. Join us for an interactive session to:
