Website Closure – 15 September 2026

Cancer Council NSW’s Our Kids, Our Call campaign has come to an end – but the work is far from over. The NSW government continues to accept money from food companies to market unhealthy food and drinks on government-owned property, contradicting their own healthy messaging. This must change.

We remain committed to seeing unhealthy food and drink advertising removed from government-owned property to give our children the best chance to grow into healthy adults. We’re excited to share our new initiative soon.

To be the first to know about what’s next, sign up to CanAct. For family-friendly recipes, meal ideas and practical information to help build healthy habits, sign up to  Healthy Made Tasty.

We’re campaigning to stop manipulative junk food marketers targeting children and putting a whole generation at risk of future health problems.

The widespread marketing of junk food to Aussie kids encourages unhealthy eating habits. Children who carry excess body fat tend to carry that weight into adulthood, increasing their risk of 13 different types of cancer in later life. We need your help to support parents and give kids the best chance for a healthy future.

Please sign our petition

We need your help to call on the NSW government to lead by example and show kids what healthy eating really looks like.

Right now, the NSW government is accepting money from food companies to market their unhealthy food and drink on government-owned property. This directly contradicts the government’s own messages about healthy eating and its efforts to tackle childhood obesity.

Join us and sign the petition asking the NSW Government to give our children the best chance to grow into healthy adults.
