Obesity is a complex issue caused by multiple factors, many of which are beyond an individual’s control. To meet this challenge, Healthy Together Victoria (HTV) is taking a complex systems approach to prevention, delivering multiple policies and strategies at both state and local government level where all Victorians live, learn, work and play.
