Partnerships
Refresh.ED was developed in consultation with key stakeholders and to complement existing nutrition promotion programs in schools and community.

- Lyn Dymond Lecturer (Home Economics), School of Education, Edith Cowan University (ECU)
- Jill Darby Lecturer (Health Promotion), School of Exercise and Health Sciences, ECU
- Dr Matt Byrne Senior Lecturer (Indigenous Education), School of Education, ECU
