End food waste campaign

Local governments are invited to support a national campaign designed to inspire and empower all Australians to reduce food waste in their homes.

The Great Unwaste campaign is a collaborative movement to change household behaviour nationwide.

The latest figures show Australian households throw away the equivalent of 7.7 million meals every day – with the average home generating 265kg of food waste a year.

Launched in September 2024, the Great Unwaste is now rallying local councils across the country to support the campaign with free tools and resources.

There is a dedicated Partner Hub to support local governments to champion household food waste reduction.  Councils can also access How-To Guides and Campaign Kits with creative assets, tools and resources.

Several local governments, including Ballina Shire Council (NSW) and the City of Canning (WA), have adopted the campaign to strengthen community engagement and communication efforts — helping residents make small, everyday changes that make a big difference.
