More access to life-saving nutrition advice
Each year 27,500 Australians die from preventable diet-related diseases. Unhealthy eating habits among younger Australians are leading to the premature development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Thanks to generous funding from the nib foundation, University of Newcastle researchers are helping Australians be more informed about their nutrition-related health.

While we know that what you eat impacts your health and wellbeing, knowing what to eat, how to cook and how to save on groceries is no easy task.
No Money No Time aims to address this problem by providing a highly engaging interactive food and nutrition website that translates nutrition science research into practical, real-world advice. This initiative was made possible through collaboration with a team of researchers at the University of Newcastle with the generous support of the nib foundation and our community.
With close to a million people accessing the site since its launch, No Money No Time has grown to include hundreds of quick, affordable and nutritious recipes, ebooks, meal plans, meal builders, podcasts and more – reaching hundreds of thousands of people each year online and through impactful partnerships.
Thanks to the nib foundation for their vision and commitment to delivering innovative, preventative health programs. Together we have created positive and lasting change for so many Australians and we look forward to the program’s continued growth through new partnerships in the future.”

Transforming lives in Western Sydney and the Hunter New England Region
Diabetes impacts thousands of lives, placing an unsustainable burden on the state’s healthcare system. To address this, No Money No Time has collaborated with partners to create innovative resources and programs to empower individuals to eat well, and prevent and manage diabetes.
In a current partnership with the Diabetes Alliance Program Plus, No Money No Time is utilising new technologies to create personalised nutrition programs, enhancing health outcomes for people with diabetes. No Money No Time also teamed up with Western Sydney Diabetes to produce an ebook for their 2kg Challenge packed with practical advice, healthy recipes and tips for making informed dietary choices. For those at risk of diabetes, losing just 2kg can reduce their chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 30%.
Thanks to generous support, these partnerships and innovative ideas are making a lasting impact. We are excited about the future of the program and look forward to seeing the continued difference it can make in our communities.
