Supporting Queenslanders to make healthier lifestyle choices

The QCWA’s Country Kitchens program supports Queenslanders to improve their health by adopting healthier lifestyle behaviours.

The Country Kitchens team of Dietitians/Nutritionists with volunteer QCWA Branch Facilitators engage communities to participate in a variety of fun-filled activities, learning nutrition basics and cooking delicious, healthy meals.

Every activity promotes one of more of the program’s 5 key messages.

Our nutrition promotion training PATHway equips our QCWA volunteer Branch Facilitators with everything required to deliver the Country Kitchens activities within their communities.
