The bigger picture...

Our annual LYBW survey shows Australians worry more about how their body looks rather than all the incredible things it enables them to do! LYBW encourages everyone to change appearance based conversations at school, home, work and online.

In September 2018 we revealed the results of our National Body Image Survey. If you’d like to learn more about the campaign and what our survey found please CLICK HERE.
