Size Inclusive Health Australia

Size Inclusive Health Australia Size Inclusive Health Australia brings together Australia's HAES® aligned health practitioners

Over recent years the interest in the Health at Every Size® and NonDiet approaches to health has greatly increased, with professionals from different disciplines undergoing training in using the approach. Ever increasing numbers of professionals are adopting a HAES® perspective in their clinical practice. The growth of HAES® interest reflects the great need in our culture for a different approach

to health and weight. What has been absent until now is a central place for HAES® professionals to connect, learn, and unite and for interested people to find a health professional who is fully trained and experienced. Size Inclusive Health Australia (formerly HAES® Australia) was created Australia’s by leading HAES® health professionals with this vision.

What does Size-Inclusive Health have to do with Pride?

Pride and size inclusive health share the same root: the fight for bodily autonomy. Both movements demand the right to exist safely without conforming to societal norms. This month, we celebrate the radical history of q***r and fat activists who fought for our right to be seen, respected, and cared for just as we are.

Comment below with a q***r historical figure who inspires your journey toward self-acceptance.

Sustainable health change doesn't just come from the top down.

It can also grow from the ground up. We can all be leaders for Size Inclusive Healthcare, regardless of our role.

Cultural change happens when small actions add up. Healthcare workers and services can adapt care to be accessible, respectful and stigma-free.

From lunch time chatter to patient care, how we approach conversations can have a lasting impact.

You can call out weight stigma with light‑humoured, workplace‑safe, non‑shaming responses that are designed to interrupt the moment, not escalate it.

Let’s make healthcare safer, kinder, and more inclusive, one word at a time.

Follow SIHA today for more tips to make your practice size inclusive.

Welcome back to Size Inclusive Health Australia's Weight Inclusive Wednesday!!!

A regular share of weight inclusive, fat-positive and health promotion resources. Follow along, explore new ideas and find your people.

This week's spotlight is on Sonya Renee Taylor's book The Body Is Not an Apology.

Bold, compassionate and deeply thought-provoking, The Body Is Not an Apology explores radical self-love and challenges the systems that teach us to judge bodies. Through personal insight and social critique, Sonya Renee invites readers to rethink shame, beauty standards and worth and imagine a world where every body is valued.

Check it out and let us know your thoughts 💛

Got any suggestions for future Weight Inclusive Wednesdays? Just comment :)
