Update on consultation opportunities – HSR system five year review

By Elsa Kennett

In July 2017, mpconsulting was engaged to conduct an independent review of the Health Star Rating (HSR) system. The HSR system is a public health and consumer choice intervention designed to encourage people to make healthier dietary choices.

A public submission process for the five year review was conducted between June and August 2017. mpconsulting has prepared a report on submissions to the review of the HSR system and has also proposed a future consultation strategy.

More information on the proposed consultations to be held across Australia and in New Zealand from February to April 2018 can be found at:

We look forward to continuing our work with a wide range of stakeholders, and with the Health Star Rating Advisory Committee in reviewing the HSR system.
