ABOUT THE OHA

 

The Obesity Health Alliance is a coalition of nearly 60 organisations working together to reduce obesity by influencing Government policy.

The goal of the Obesity Health Alliance is to prevent obesity-related ill-health by supporting evidence based population level policies to help address the wider environmental factors that lead to excess bodyweight.

We do this by:

  • Sharing insight and expertise among members
  • Developing and advocating evidence-informed policy recommendations
  • Influencing decision makers and the media

The OHA is independent and funded by its members.  The OHA does not have a view on individual weight, specific weight management programs or medical treatments and cannot give medical advice.
