Dietitians Australia is celebrating the passing of the new Aged Care Act through Australian Parliament this week as a victory for the nutrition rights of older people in this country.

Dietitians Australia is welcoming the introduction of the new Aged Care bill into Parliament, as a significant milestone for bolstering the nutrition rights of Australians in aged care, and moving us another step closer towards transforming nutrition in aged care.

Dietitians Australia is highlighting the urgent need to prioritise nutrition action in Australia.

What we eat has a profound impact on the mind, body and brain, yet the power of nutrition and dietetic supports remain largely underutilised within Australia’s mental health care system.
