The Parents Jury is an online network of Australian parents who wish to voice their views and to collectively advocate for the improvement of children's food and physical activity environments (for example, reduced junk food marketing to children, healthy choices for school canteens, and activity-friendly neighbourhoods).

The Parents Jury is supported by Cancer Council Australia and its member organisations, Diabetes Australia - Vic, QLD & WA, the Australian and New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS) and VicHealth. Together these organisations have a major interest in the prevention of childhood overweight and obesity.

Information gathered from members contributes towards The Parents Jury’s collective voice in the media, and to lobby governments, food manufacturers and other key decision makers. The website also contains grassroots advocacy tips and resources to help members become Parent Champions for their children's health.

Membership of The Parents Jury is free to all parents, grandparents and guardians of children aged under 18.

If you're interested in getting involved in Parents Jury, register online by visiting www.parentsjury.org.au.
