National Resources (6)

The Australian weight loss national resources page provides some of the support services available to Australians who suffer from obesity and other related conditions.

Some of these sites offer free information and are run either by government bodies, non-profit or charity organisations.

Losing weight in Australia, depending on your occupation can be a very confusing experience. People ranging in occupations from lawyers, to human resource officers to house wives still seem to think that carbs are bad and that they have to reduce their consumption of these in order to lose weight.

If you're confused or just plain frustrated ring some of these organisations and talk to someone who can give you down to earth advise about how to lose weight in a healthy and safe manner.
