Cater to your heart’s content

If you have to cater for a work function, meeting or workshop, consider a healthy option for morning or afternoon tea, lunch or drinks.

The Department of Justice and Attorney General Workplace Health and Safety has released an informative booklet to help feed the workers – Healthy Choice Catering.

The advice offered in the booklet supports the Queensland Government’s Toward Q2: Tomorrow’s Queensland commitment to making Queenslanders Australia’s healthiest people by 2020.

Public servants are encouraged to use the Healthy Choice Catering booklet suggestions when catering for the workplace. You might just be doing yourself and your colleagues a nutritional favour.

The booklet, while not quite a recipe book, gives some excellent food suggestions for any work occasion.

Breads, biscuits, muffin, cakes and savoury finger foods are on the menu for morning and afternoon teas. Lunch could be different types of sandwiches with healthy fillings, sushi and a variety of salads.

Platters offering a range of delicious nibbles and healthy drinks are also encouraged in the publication.

The booklet, developed in conjunction with Queensland Health, comes in a handy magnetised flip-book format. Email Workplace Health and Safety to receive a copy, or download the booklet here (PDF, 1.23 MB).
