Summary/Abstract (200 words)
Food insecurity has been prioritised in the Central West Gippsland region, which led to the
development of a Food Security Recommendation Report in 2012 to provide guidance on the
types of interventions to implement in CWG.
Following the report, the Baw Baw Food Security coalition was implemented shortly after.
The coalition consists of 2 newly established working groups (Community Food Action
Network & Strategic Planning Working Group) and 1 working group that had previously
existed but stopped meeting (Emergency Relief Network), which has now recommenced.
These groups bring together local government, community health, emergency relief
agencies, neighbourhood houses and the community to work across the food security
continuum.
The overall aim is to improve food security and increase access to healthy food in food
insecure target groups/populations in Baw Baw by:


increasing local planning and action
implementing evidence based interventions
The work has led to a combined approach to food security in the catchment and improved
knowledge and awareness by workers and the community in Baw Baw Shire LGA as a result
of the reports, consultations and presentations. A commitment to tacking food insecurity
has been achieved though dedicated financial resources from CWGPCP to appoint a shared
CWGPCP/BBSC Food Security Project Officer for two years as well as a plan for food security
to be embedded into the MPHWP.

project/strategy
Priority issue(s)
Progressing Food Security in Baw Baw
Access to Healthy and Affordable Food
Priority goal
Goal: By June 2013, increase access and consumption of healthy
and nutritious food for children and people on low incomes, by
increasing the number of Food Security interventions.
Target group
All people in the Baw Baw Local Government area, with a
particular focus on people on low incomes, people living in towns
without access to healthy and affordable food and people without
access to transport.
Rationale
The Victorian Population Health Survey (Department of Health,
2008) identified Gippsland as having a higher incidence of food
insecurity 5.8% in comparison to the Victorian state average of
5.6%.
The Victorian Government identified “promoting accessible and
nutritious food” as a health priority (2007-2012) and
subsequently, the Central West Gippsland Primary Care
Partnership (CWGPCP) adopted food security as a priority in
2007. Food security continues to be a priority for CWG in 2013
and is also a Gippsland wide IHP priority.
As food insecurity was identified as a serious issue in the Central
West Gippsland region, extensive research and data collection
was undertaken to assess the determinants influencing an
individual’s ability to access safe and affordable food.
Over the past 5 years the PCP has produced many valuable pieces
of work that have been undertaken in collaboration with the
community and partner agencies.
These reports (see appendix) and timelines are outlined below:
 2007: The Impact of Food Security in a Rural Area report
completed
 2008: Victorian Healthy Food basket Mapping was first
completed in CWG
 2009: CWG mapping of food and transport availability
 2010: CWGPCP - Getting Grub in Gippsland report
completed
 2011: Erica/Rawson Community Consultation Food
Security Report completed (WGHG)
 2012: Drouin Community Consultation Food Security
Report completed (WGHG)
 2012: CWGPCP Food Security Recommendation Report
completed
These reports showed significant signs of food insecurity due to
numerous factors including high food costs, low economic access
and low population socio-economic status (Favre, 2010).
As a result of using the information gathered in this research, the
Baw Baw Shire was successful in a grant application for project
funding to increase access to healthy affordable food in the Baw
Baw Shire LGA.
The Victorian Healthy Food Basket (VHFB) and a United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Security Survey were
Integrated Health Promotion Case Study Template
Page 3 of 12
used to explore food price, affordability and accessibility. In
addition maps of food retail outlets, socio-economic index and
public transport routes in the area were developed to provide an
additional indication of availability of food to sectors of the
population across Central West Gippsland.
This research provided the catchment with an evidence base to
inform the development of a Food Security Recommendation
Report to provide guidance on the types of interventions to
implement in CWG.
It was envisaged that by undertaking research (including data
collection, mapping and community consultation) in CWG that this
body of evidence would increase local action and planning.
As a result of the CWGPCP food security research and
Recommendation Report, the Baw Baw Food Security Coalition
was established in 2012.
The coalition brings together local government, community
health, emergency relief agencies, neighbourhood houses and the
community to work toward improving food security in Baw Baw.
Objectives
It is expected that this project will lead to improved food security
for all living within the Baw Baw LGA, especially those identified
as most at risk of food insecurity.
The expected project outcome is;
Increased number of interventions to improve food security within
Baw Baw LGA.
The expected client impact is;
Improved food security through increased access and supply of
healthy food.
Project Objectives:
 By June 2013 to have increased local planning and action to
address food security issues in Baw Baw

By June 2013 implement evidence based interventions that
increase access to healthy food in food insecure target
groups/populations in Baw Baw, as reported in the CWGPCP
Food Security Recommendation Report
Methodology and approach
Key project activities
 Update all Victorian Healthy Food Basket (VHFB) results for eligible supermarkets within
Baw Baw LGA and disseminate findings to local government at Food Security Network
meetings
 Utilise the CWGPCP Food Security Recommendation Report to progress work within Baw
Baw LGA in the area of reducing food insecurity.
 Identify PCP key stakeholders/ agencies to be involved
 Further develop the food policy coalition & its 3 working groups
 Community Food Access Network to identify evidence based interventions in the towns
and undertake mapping, including feasibility of implementing community kitchens, food


co ops, or vegetable gardens.
Implement at least 1 intervention, to improve food security, within each town; the
selected intervention was the FOODcents program, including training volunteers.
Link food security work with existing initiatives to strengthen agency/community
commitment to the initiatives, specifically;
o Support the development of new community gardens & improve sustainability of
existing gardens
o Implement 1 new Community Kitchen in the Baw Baw LGA
o Support Indigenous Health Workers to increase capacity to deliver nutrition
education for the wider Indigenous community, leading to an increase in fruit and
vegetable consumption
o Support educational settings to establish and maintain breakfast clubs
o Implement healthy food choices as a component of the VHPAP
o Support WGHG Young Mothers Group (YMG) to increase fruit and vegetable
consumption
Victorian Healthy Food Basket
The Victorian Healthy Food Basket is designed to meet the nutritional needs of 4 different
family types for a fortnight and can be employed to assess cost and availability of food.
The VHFB was conducted in 2008 and 2010 in the Baw Baw Shire. To ensure that the Food
Security Coalition is continuously monitoring the cost and availability of food in the Baw Baw
Shire it was decided that the VHFB audits need to be conducted bi-annually at a minimum.
For this reason the VHFB audit was conducted in 2012 by CWGPCP. Results from the 2010
VHFB can be found in the Getting Grub in Gippsland (GGIG) report (see appendix). Results
from the 2012 VHFB can be found in the Baw Baw 2012 VHFB report (see appendix).
Utilise the CWGPCP Food Security Recommendation Report
Released in June 2012, the CWGPCP Food Security Recommendation Report builds on the
previous five years of food security investigation in Central West Gippsland. The report
identifies interventions and makes recommendations to improve food security within our
local area. This report has been used to guide all food security work in the Baw Baw shire
from June 2012 to the current day. Recommendations from this report can be seen in the
working group actions plans.
Identify PCP key stakeholders
14 key agencies were identified to be involved in the coalition.
Local food security community consultation results and the recommendation report were
presented to key stakeholder agencies in July 2012. These agencies were then asked to
commit to the network to progress the recommendations of the report, to which they all
agreed.
Form the Food Security Coalition and the working groups
The coalition consists of an overarching steering committee and 3 working groups who will
implement initiatives to improve food security at all levels (from environmental policy to
emergency relief) and will continue data collection and monitoring of food security and food
pricing in the Baw Baw area (see appendix for project brief).
The coalition consists of the;
- Steering committee
- Strategic Planning Working Group (upstream)
- Community Food Access Network (midstream)
- Emergency Food Relief Network (downstream)
Each working group engages specialists from these specific areas to work collaboratively to
address, improve food security.
Community Food Access Network to identify evidence based interventions
The Community Food Access Network (CFAN) selected 5 key interventions based on the
Integrated Health Promotion Case Study Template
Page 5 of 12
CWGPCP Food Security Recommendation Report. The selected initiatives were based on
agencies current funding guidelines and worker capacity. The 5 selected interventions were;
Community Gardens, Community Kitchens, School Breakfast Clubs, FOODcents and the
Achievement program.
Implement at least 1 intervention, to improve food security, within each town
The selected intervention from 2012-2013 was the FOODcents program, including the
training of facilitators. FOODcents is designed to educate people on how to budget, shop
and cook healthy meals on a low income.
FOODcents had never been delivered in Victoria before and hence required a large amount
of work to get it up and running within the year. For a comprehensive overview of the
FOODcents implementation process for Baw Baw please see the FOODcents Case Study
2013 (appendix).
Integrate food security work with existing initiatives to strengthen collaboration
The Food Security Coalition recognised the importance of linking their food security work
with existing network groups and initiatives already occurring in the area. This was done by
undertaking mapping of existing food related initiatives including; community kitchens, food
co ops, vegetable gardens, breakfast clubs, etc. As a result of this mapping the coalition
was able to engage others working in the area to strengthen the network of agency and
community members working toward improved food security.
Dissemination of research and information
Written reports on the VHFB data were sent to all the supermarkets and general stores.
Poster presentations have been delivered at local and state networks/interest groups
presenting the results from the food security research conducted in Central West Gippsland.
In 2012 the reports and research on food security in CWG were made available to the Baw
Baw Shire Council to provide support for funding applications that were subsequently
successful and will help to improve access to fresh fruit and vegetables for isolated
communities in the Baw Baw Shire.
Evaluation of initiatives
The VHFB is conducted using the VHFB survey (see appendix)
The CFAN initiatives are evaluated using a specific program logic developed for each
program (see appendix)
Evaluation of the project as a whole will be conducted in 2014 using the USDA Food Security
Survey.
Results
Process and impact
indicators/measures
2012-2013 has been a very progressive year for food security in
Baw Baw. This project has made many impacts on the Baw Baw
community over the past 12 months.
VHFB Surveys
9 healthy food basket surveys were conducted in Baw Baw shire.
Report written and discussed at the CFAN meetings.
Progressing Food Security Planning in Baw Baw
The Food Security Recommendation Report has been used to
develop the working group action plan of the Community Food
Action Network.
The report will also be used to develop the action plan for the
Integrated Health Promotion Case Study Template
Page 6 of 12
Strategic Planning Working Group, commencing July 2013.
Food Security is being advocated to be included as a key
component of the BBSC Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan
(MPHWP).
Engaging Key Stakeholders
14 key agencies were identified to be involved in the coalition.
Currently there are 11 agencies involved in the Community Food
Action Network and Emergency Food Relief Network
3 Agencies not yet engaged include; Department of Education and
Early Childhood Development (DEECD), department of Primary
Industries (DPI) and Salvation Army. Work will continue to engage
these agencies in 2013-14.
Form the Food Security Coalition and 3 working groups
Baw Baw Food Coalition status at June 30 2013;
- Steering committee - not yet active
- Strategic Planning for Food - not yet active
- Community Food Access Network – active and
sustainable
- Emergency Food Relief Network- active and sustainable
Although the Steering Committee and the Strategic Planning
Working Group are not yet actively running, CWGPCP and BBSC
have succeeded in securing a joint Food Security Project Officer.
One of the main aims of the officer will be to build the
sustainability of these working groups beyond the two years. It
also shows the commitment that CWGPCP and BBSC have made
toward improving food security in the long term.
The CFAN has met bi-monthly for the past 12 months and has
developed Terms of Reference (ToR) and a working group action
plan (see appendix) to guide their work.
The Emergency Food Relief Network has met quarterly for the past
12 months. As this network consists predominantly of volunteers
they do not operate under a ToR or work plan. However, this has
not hindered the group from being able to work collaboratively to
address food security in a more holistic and responsive nature. Key
success of this network have been the ability to ‘value add’ to
other services. For example where one agency can provide food,
another has been able to provide cooking utensils to allow clients
to prepare the food. These partnerships have been invaluable in
achieving optimal client outcomes for those who are the most
disadvantaged and food insecure.
The Emergency Food Relief Network also promotes the initiatives
from the CFAN working group to encourage their clients to gain
knowledge and skills to improve their food security for the future.
Community Food Access Network to identify and implement
evidence based interventions
Within the Baw Baw LGA the CFAN working group has
implemented a number of new interventions including;
3 new community gardens
1 new community kitchen
6 perspective School breakfast clubs to initiate late 2013.
21 FOODcents sessions
32 early education/primary schools signed up to Achievement
program (with a commitment to health eating)
Integrated Health Promotion Case Study Template
Page 7 of 12
...And sustained an existing;
1 community garden
5 community kitchens
7 school breakfast clubs
Community Gardens
3 new community gardens have been facilitated in the Baw Baw
Shire LGA. Drouin caravan park garden has 10 regular
participants. Eastern Park garden is under development with a
community fun day held on the new site in Sept 2012 – 700
attended. The community garden at Trafalgar is in initial stages.
1 community garden existed at June 2012 and is still running at
June 2013. Monthly workshops take place with approx. 20
attending. During summer, evening BBQs were held weekly with
10 regular attendees. 200 people are currently signed up to a
monthly newsletter mailing list. Individuals also access gardens
independently during warmer months. Produce grown in the
garden is shared between participants and used with their group
BBQs. Development of a new site for a community garden has
been a long term but now achievable goal. Funding (Healthy
Communities via Baw Baw Shire) for Eastern Park community
garden has approved with design and planning well under way and
an anticipated start date in Oct 2013.
Community Kitchens
1 new community kitchen has been established at Warragul
Community House, which runs weekly. The target group is people
with mental illness and/or IDs. There are currently 8 participants.
5 community kitchens are running and supported with recipes,
leader training, venue hire and cooking equipment donations. 2
participants in the Mental Illness Fellowship group have been
trained and become leaders.
FOODcents
11 people attended a FOODcents information session held in
February. Following this, 13 Volunteers were trained to deliver
FOODcents. In June 10 FOODcents supermarket tours, 5 budget
sessions and 2 cooking sessions were completed. 4 other
FOODcents information events were held at schools and mothers
groups and for the WGHG Indigenous health trainees.
For the full evaluation report see FOODcents Case Study in the
appendix
School Breakfast Clubs
7 breakfast clubs are currently running. 6 schools attended WGHG
breakfast club forum (07/03/13) with aim of initiating or increasing
the capacity of their school’s breakfast club.
A funding application has been sent to Trafalgar Community
Bendigo Bank (10/07/13) requesting financial support for 5 local
schools that showed interest in starting/increasing their schools’
breakfast club.
Achievement Program
15 early education settings and 17 primary schools are registered.
An Introduction to FOODcents was delivered to 12 Longwarry
primary school staff, as well as visits to other local primary schools
for healthy eating days. Newsletter inserts on healthy lifestyle
news are sent to schools and early learning centres on a monthly
Integrated Health Promotion Case Study Template

basis.
A nutrition policy and healthy catering guidelines have been
created for a young mother’s group to promote and ensure
adequate consumption of fruit and vegetables in line with
Australian Dietary Guidelines. Australian Dietary Guidelines
brochures for Breastfeeding, Infants and Children were provided to
young mothers group leaders.
Status and
sustainability
Research & Evaluation
CWGPCP is committed to undertaking the USDA Food Security
Survey again in 2014 as a measure of intervention effectiveness in
the BBSC LGA. The findings will be disseminated back to the
communities through newspaper articles, council notices and
uploaded to the CWGPCP website.
VHFB surveys have been completed in 2008, 2010 and 2012 with
the intention to continue this activity annually. An ongoing
partnership with Monash and Deakin Universities will mean that
Health Promotion and Dietetics students undertaking placement
will be able to complete this task. Dietetic students have already
been secured to complete the 2013 VHFB surveys in Baw Baw.
Food Security Coalition; steering committee and working
groups
This project will be continued through the Baw Baw Food Security
Coalition and its engaged key stakeholders. The employment of a
project worker to drive and build sustainability into this work will
allow a strong foundation to be built for the future.
By working towards embedding food security in into the Municipal
Public Health and Wellbeing Plan for Baw Baw we will secure
further support from the council staff for the coming 4 year period.
Disseminating our findings
This project, as well as the FOODcents project, will be submitted
for local, state-wide and national conferences (where relevant).
This project is also being used to guide the food security work
taking place in the neighbouring Latrobe Shire.
Conclusions
Key success factors
CWGPCP is seen as a reputable source of information/advice, often providing guidance to
others with regard to best practice initiatives for improving food security.
Due to the increased body of evidence Baw Baw has been able to target health promotion
resources to the areas of most need, as identified by the research data.
Integrated workforce of multiple agencies working collaboratively to address food security
and value add to each other’s work.
Commitment by CWGPCP and BBSC to employ a Food Security Project Officer to progress
this work over the coming 2 years.
Commitment to Food Security in the future by advocating for it to be embedded into the
MPHWP.
Collaboration with the universities to secure student placements each year to conduct
monitoring and further research.

Key challenges
Agencies must recognise that no one intervention will address food security, and to
successfully tackle the issue multi strategy interventions must be implemented to ensure
that food security is addressed at all stages of the intervention continuum, from the
provision of an emergency food parcel to the planning of ‘Food Sensitive’ shires.
Engaging workers within the shire has proven challenging and as a result the best way
forward was deemed to be the employment of a Food Security Project Officer to sit within
the shire to engage workers in food related initiatives and to show them how their everyday
work is impacting on food security for the community.
Limitations of the project
Limited capacity and resources to act on results/provide outcomes to participants
How activities and improvements will be sustained
Data and information can be used by PCP member agencies when applying for funding to
support an increase in food security interventions
Project activities have been included in the IHP CWGPCP plan and are planned to be
included in the BBSC Municipal Public Health Plan
A key objective of the Food Security Project Officer is to build sustainability into the coalition
by identifying and building the capacity of interested key stakeholders who will lead the
project beyond the life of the PCP funding
Relevance of your findings to other areas of organisational activity
Tackling food security is a huge issue that requires a multi-agency and community
response. The evaluation and learnings from this project will help to support other
organisations tackling similar social or cultural problems.
Future directions
