NT Health Nutrition and Physical Activity Strategy 2015–2020Foreword“It is no secret that healthynutrition and regularphysical activity are criticalto good health.”These issues present significant publichealth problems that threaten the gainsmade in earlier decades. They also place anincreasing burden on health budgets andgovernments in general.The Northern Territory (NT) has not beenimmune to these developments and is nowfacing high rates of chronic diseases. Butwhilst we have an urgent responsibility to acton overweight and obesity, we must also tackleother nutrition issues, such as underweightand anaemia among young children inremote communities. As we all know, theseissues must be addressed in the contextof geographic isolation, limited enablinginfrastructure, and staff turnover.With these challenges in mind, this strategydraws on the available evidence to proposelocal solutions to NT specific problems.It contains a comprehensive list of suggestionsfor staff who are able to influence thedeterminants of a healthy and active lifestyle,whether these staff work in a policy contextor ‘at the coal face’. It also leaves room forinnovative and community driven responses.As most contributing factors to poor nutritionor physical inactivity are outside the controlof the Health sector, many of the proposedsolutions will require collaboration with othersectors, within and outside government.The strength of the NT is that in many cases,these alliances already exist and are solid;much good work can therefore be expectedby capitalising on them.Finally, this strategy is grounded on healthpromotion principles; it acknowledges the rolethat environments play in shaping individuals’decisions and aims to develop the conditionsthat will support changes. Only by making iteasier for people to make healthy choices inthe places they live, work and play, can wehope to turn the rising tide of chronic diseases.I thank all of those who gave their time andattention to the development of this importantdocument. It is with great pleasure that Icommend to you the NT Health Nutrition andPhysical Activity Strategy 2015 2020.Professor Len Notaras AMChief ExecutiveSTRATEGY SUMMARYIt is no secret that healthy nutrition and regularphysical activity are critical to good health.Yet, for most of us, choosing healthier foodsand drinks and finding time to exercise hasnever been harder. Not surprisingly rates ofoverweight and obesity are high, and rising,causing an alarming increase in prevalence ofdiabetes and chronic diseases.5

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTHWho is this strategy forand how can it be used?Key action areas andtarget groupThe Northern Territory Health (NT Health)Nutrition and Physical Activity Strategy2015 2020 (‘the strategy’) is intended forstaff within NT Health who are in a position toinfluence the determinants of a healthy dietand an active lifestyle. Reduce obesogenic environments bydeveloping policies and environmentsthat support healthy eating and regularphysical activity.It provides an overview of the key health issuesassociated with poor nutrition and physicalinactivity throughout the life course, bringstogether the available evidence of interventionsthat have been effective in addressing them,and suggests a range of strategic actionsrelevant to the NT context.- exclusive breastfeeding for the first6 months of lifeIn practice, this strategy can be used as aguide and practical tool for planning andevaluation across the spectrum of programsthat have a remit in nutrition and physicalactivity. It complements the NorthernTerritory Chronic Conditions Prevention andManagement Strategy 2010 2020¹ andsupports its implementation.- reduced intake of sugar sweetenedbeverages (SSBs)AimThis strategy aims to increase the proportion ofTerritorians who enjoy a balanced diet, lead anactive lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight,in order to enhance their health and wellbeing,and reduce the risk and incidence of chronicdiseases and premature death.ObjectivesObjective 1: improve food security, particularlyin remote communities.Objective 2: promote and support a healthydiet and a healthy weight among women ofchild bearing age.Objective 3: optimise feeding practices andpromote an active lifestyle for children aged0 5 years.Objective 4: promote and support healthyeating and regular participation in physicalactivity among school aged children.Objective 5: achieve and maintain a healthyweight for all adults and older Territorians.6 Promote healthy eating by encouragingand supporting- the introduction of age appropriatesolids at around 6 months- increased consumption of fruit andvegetables- reduced intake of other energy-densenutrient-poor (EDNP) foods and drinks. Promote participation in regular physicalactivity throughout life. Promote a reduction in time spent beingsedentary or sitting down.This strategy targets all Territorians, whereverthey live. It places however a special emphasison Aboriginalª people living in remotecommunities due to the higher burden ofdisease and disadvantage they experience.Related policies,strategies and guidelines 2014 2017 Strategic Plan, NorthernTerritory Health² Northern Territory Chronic ConditionsPrevention and Management Strategy2010 2020¹ Northern Territory Work Health and SafetyAct 2011³ Australian National Breastfeeding Strategy2010 20154 National Women’s Health Policy 20105 National Male Health Policy 20106 Australian Dietary Guidelines7 Australian Physical ActivityRecommendations and Guidelines.8-¹²a Throughout this document the term Aboriginal should be taken to include Torres Strait Islander people

NT Health Nutrition and Physical Activity Strategy 2015–2020Working within a healthpromoting frameworkConsistent with NT Health’s Health PromotionFramework13, this strategy promotes acontinuum of health promotion practice.This continuum is reflective of the OttawaCharter14 and relies on a range of approaches,both individual and population-wide, designedto complement one another as they target thedeterminants of health across the life course.These approaches include: settings and supportive environments community action health information and social marketing health education and skills development screening and individual risk assessment.Targeting the socialdeterminants of healthThis strategy acknowledges the need toaddress the multiple underlying social,economic and cultural determinants of healthand aims to reduce health disparities seen inthe NT, by focussing on those who experiencethe greatest disadvantage and are most at-risk.Hence its strong focus on Aboriginal peopleliving in remote communities, and particularlyon Aboriginal children under the age of two.Gender and diversityThis strategy recognises other causal factorsof health inequity including: age; ethnic andlinguistic background; gender; incarceration;mental health status; physical and orintellectual disability; and sexuality.Providing cultural securityConsistent with NT Health’s Aboriginal CulturalSecurity Policy15, this strategy promotes theprovision of culturally secure services that identify those elements of Aboriginalculture that affect the delivery of healthand community services in the NorthernTerritory review service delivery practices to ensurethat they do not offend Aboriginal people’sculture and values act to modify service delivery practiceswhere necessary monitor service activity to ensure that ourservices continue to meet culturally safestandards.This approach is extended to the provisionof services to communities of culturally andlinguistically diverse backgrounds.Sustaining through capacity buildingA key element to the sustainability of allinitiatives identified in this strategy is thebuilding of capacity, within the communityor other agencies. Capacity buildingencompasses training and support, sharingknowledge, assisting with ensuring that theinfrastructure is in place, addressing the issueof sustainability and facilitating the process ofproblem solving and evaluation.Working in partnershipImplementation of this strategy will be ashared responsibility between a broad rangeof stakeholders across the three entitiesforming the Public Health system in the NT.Many of the factors that impact on food supply,nutrition or physical activity are howeveroutside the responsibility of the health system.For sustained improvements in these domains,partnerships must therefore be establishedbetween relevant stakeholders across all levelsof government, the non-government sector,research institutions, industry andthe community.Commitment to monitoringand evaluationThe Nutrition and Physical Activity StrategyUnit will monitor performance against theobjectives at mid-term and five years, andcarry out the final evaluation.STRATEGY SUMMARYGuiding principles7

Objective 1:Improve food security, particularlyin remote communitiesBackgroundFood security has been defined as the ability of individuals, householdsand communities to acquire appropriate and nutritious food on a regularand reliable basis, using socially acceptable means.16Food security is determined by people’s local food supply and their capacity and resources toaccess and use that food. Food security is strongly associated with a sustainable food system thatencourages local production and distribution infrastructures.In the NT, 30.4% of the population is Aboriginal and three quarters of that group (74%) live inremote areas, in low socio-economic circumstances. In remote communities most of the foodeaten is food purchased from the store and/or the takeaway. Despite noted recent improvements17,the availability and the variety of foods available in these communities remain more limited than inregional centres, and prices are significantly higher, suggesting the likelihood of food insecurity.While healthy food is more readily available in urban centres, it may be equally unaffordable forpeople living on low income or welfare payments, resulting as well in food insecurity or what hasbeen labelled ‘food stress’.18It has been postulated that people on limited income may opt for low cost energy-densenutrient-poor (EDNP) foods and drinks in order to maximise energy availability per dollar spent.19The resulting poor diet is a major risk factor for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes,gestational diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and renal disease, all of which have ahigh prevalence in the Aboriginal population.20 Poor diet also contributes to dental caries.The impact of improving the supply of healthy food and drinks is greatest when it is coordinatedwith actions that promote healthy eating and increase demand for healthy food and drinks.12

NT Health Nutrition and Physical Activity Strategy 2015–2020What the data tell usIn 2014, data collected as part of the NTMarket basket Survey (MBS)17 showed that ahealthy food basket was 53% more expensivein remote community stores than in a Darwinsupermarket (see Figure 1 page 13).A 2012 study in Adelaide found that lowincome families would have to spendapproximately 30% of household incomeon eating healthily, whereas high-incomehouseholds needed to spend about 10%.18That same year, the proportion of incomebrequired to purchase the food basket was34% in remote stores, compared with 22% ina Darwin supermarket. There has been littlevariation in this difference over the last threeyears (see Figure 2 page 14).A review of the literature describing the linkbetween poverty, food insecurity and obesity,with specific reference to Australia, has shownthat the risk of obesity is 20 to 40% higheramong people affected by food insecurity.21FIGURE 1: COST OF THE FOOD BASKET, REMOTE STORES COMPARED WITH THE DARWIN SUPERMARKET, 00 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014DARWIN SUPERMARKETREMOTE STORES0PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCEb Income is calculated annually from the sum of welfare payments that the hypothetical family is entitled to receive.

The few documented successfulinterventions include the following best practiceelements: community involvement and support at allstages of the project empowering the community rather thanimposing priorities multifaceted interventions addressing bothsupply of and demand for ‘healthy’ food Provide advice and learning opportunitiesto store staff to develop and implementinitiatives that improve food supply andconsumption of healthy food. Contribute to store-based activities thatpromote and support a healthy diet.
