National Lunchbox Week is an initiative of Nutrition Australia that aims to inspire Australian families to create enjoyable and nourishing lunchboxes.

​

Throughout the campaign we're celebrating the lunchbox and how it reflects diversity, enjoyment and nourishment.​

Encouraging enjoyable and pressure free lunchbox experiences supports children’s wellbeing and helps build a positive relationship with food. 

National Lunchbox Week helps families, schools and early childhood settings by:

• inspiring practical lunchbox ideas and recipes 

• supporting positive lunchbox experiences for children 

• embracing the diversity of lunchboxes

• promoting supportive, judgment-free conversations around food.

​​

Why 9 - 15 February?

​

Occurring at the start of Term 1, National Lunchbox Week provides timely information for families as they return to the routine of daily lunchbox packing. It also supports schools, early childhood settings, teachers and educators to share inclusive lunchbox messages within their school and early childhood community.
