In view of Australia’s commitment to the rights of people with disability under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)1, Dietitians Australia welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this parliamentary inquiry which is part of a broader commitment to improve safety, quality, and accountability across the NDIS. This inquiry represents a critical step in improving scheme integrity including strengthening safeguards, addressing fraud and non-compliance, and supporting a fairer and more sustainable NDIS.

We have collaborated with First Peoples Disability Network to create 4 written resources to support Dietitians to deliver culturally considerate care and educate First Nations communities to build healthier eating habits.

This guide can be shared with families to help them understand when a dietitian may be helpful and how support can be funded.

This resource links the Nutrition Care Process with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework, hence integrating a biopsychosocial approach into dietetic assessments and interventions.

This toolbox is designed to prompt and inspire dietitians to think broadly and act effectively when supporting their clients with disability.

This overview covers the project background, phases, education program activities, snapshot of resources and publication papers.

These free educational resources are designed for dietitians and clients living with disability. All resources are free to access and contribute to your yearly CPD.
