    Changing Australia: Julie Dunbabin, the creator of Tasmania's school lunch program

    04/02/2026 | 12 mins.
    Schoolkids are into the groove of another school year but the startling state of some children's lunch boxes prompted one teacher to write to the ABC with this observation: "one of the most shocking lunches I continually witness from a struggling family was a party pack of salt and vinegar chips or dorritoes." [sic]
    While cost and a lack of understanding of healthy eating are known issues, Australia is one of the few high income countries that doesn't have a national school lunch program.
    But in Tasmania, dozens of schools and thousands of children are now part of a healthy school lunch program which is also changing how children think about food and improving student behaviour. 
    Guest: Julie Dunbabin, creator of the school lunch program run by School Food Matters in Tasmania
