Healthy Cities Australia - Cook Chill Chat

Cook Chill Chat is a free 6‑week, trauma‑informed community cooking program that brings people together to prepare and share a nutritious meal each week.

Designed to foster social connection, confidence in the kitchen, and improved physical and mental wellbeing, the program supports a wide range of community members, including older adults, culturally diverse groups, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, young families and people experiencing social isolation. 

Each session provides a hands‑on opportunity to build practical cooking skills, increase healthy eating knowledge, and learn about preventable chronic disease risk factors in a friendly, supportive environment.
