Food Relief Taskforce Action Plan

Taskforce members have committed to working together through a shared vision to:

• improve the quality and accessibility of food relief
• create greater capacity to deliver food relief to people and communities in need.

Principles

These key principles will guide the taskforce’s work:

• Food relief is an essential service and should be accessible to all Victorians who need it.
• Dignified access to healthy, nutritious and culturally appropriate food is critical to the health and wellbeing of Victorians.
• An integrated food relief system ensures that:
  • food relief activities are coordinated and efficient
  • diverse approaches that target people and communities in need.

Strategic priorities

The Taskforce Action Plan has a series of priority projects to be completed while the taskforce is in operation. The taskforce will also develop recommendations for longer-term work across four areas of focus:

• robust system knowledge and the ability to direct responses to areas of need
• improved access to healthy and culturally appropriate food
• enhanced collaboration and effectiveness of the food relief system
• sustainable food supply, and improved viability and capacity across the food relief sector.
