Our commitment
Health and Wellbeing Queensland's weight related terminology
We acknowledge the importance of using respectful and inclusive language when discussing weight and health, as it plays a key role in shaping perceptions and reducing stigma. Following comprehensive evidence reviews and broad consumer and stakeholder consultation, we have chosen to use the term ‘obesity’ to describe the medical condition and when reporting statistics.
Our commitment is to use relatable and respectful language, putting people before the condition and including positive language. We are dedicated to working together with individuals and experts to minimise weight stigma and ensure our communication promotes positive, inclusive and respectful dialogue.
