Two events over two days – the size inclusive series will be held over two days in Wangaratta and Wodonga. If you are a health professional, community leader or educator this seminar will build your capacity to engage in evidence-based inclusive practice. Register for a size inclusive seminar at your preferred location, and there is also the option to attend a complimentary workshop in Wangaratta, tailored to health promotion. You’ll find registration links to both events below.
Join us for an eye-opening seminar that challenges the conventional wisdom linking body weight with health. Evidence shows that behaviour doesn’t necessarily determine a person’s body weight and body weight doesn’t always reflect health. Yet, many believe weight loss is key to better health and disease prevention and that higher body weight equates to poorer health.
This pervasive weight stigma creates barriers to health-supporting behaviours, like nourishing eating and regular movement. This seminar aims to break down these barriers by promoting a size-inclusive approach to health.
Size-inclusive seminars – 2 sessions to choose from
These size inclusive seminars are for health professionals, educators, and community leaders.
Wodonga: Wednesday October 23, from 5.30pm at The Cube Wodonga

Join Aime Bast and Tracy Taylor-Beck as they help you unpack the size inclusive principles and how you can embed them into your everyday practice. The workshop will also provide learnings from Better Health Network on developing a size inclusive framework for organisations.
You will walk away from this workshop with:
- Increased skills, knowledge and confidence as a health promotion practitioner in embedding size-inclusive principles into your work; and,
- Increased knowledge of Better Health Network’s size inclusive organisation project and its application for your organisation.
This is a complementary workshop to the Unlocking health at any size workshops running in Wodonga and Wangaratta.
This workshop is tailored to health promotion and community development workers and will include different content to the Size-inclusive seminar with Dr Fiona Willer.
