School Playground and Tuckshop Upgrades

The Queensland Government’s School Playground and Tuckshop Upgrades Program is a great opportunity for state schools to apply for funding to upgrade their tuckshops.

The Queensland Association of School Tuckshops (QAST) understands how important fit-for-purpose infrastructure and facilities are for implementing healthier menu options.

The program aims to inspire young Queenslanders and their communities to create an environment where student’s health and wellbeing is supported, with a focus on enhancing food offerings and healthy eating options made on site.

This fact sheet outlines details about the program, who can and how to apply and if the application is successful, where to next.
