2008 - present 

The NaSSDA survey fills a significant gap in existing data in Australia by providing a co-ordinated national approach to the monitoring of secondary students' diet and physical activity, and assessment of their exposure to food marketing.   NaSSDA has provided the first truly national sample for a physical activity survey of young Australians since 1985.  The results of the survey inform our national programs to promote improved nutrition and physical activity for young people.  

Around 69,000 students from over 100 schools across Australia will participate in the third survey round in 2018.
