Here at Nutrition Australia, we often collaborate with other organisations to deliver our projects, programs and campaigns.

Flinders University
Victoria
Flinders University are thrilled to enjoy a close partnership with Nutrition Australia (Victoria Division) across a range of collaborative endeavours.
Our partnership includes working together on important outcome-driven research with the Flinders Caring Futures Institute, Australia’s first fully dedicated research institute for the study of self-care and caring solutions. The Caring Futures Institute and Nutrition Australia (Victoria Division), alongside CSIRO and funded by Hort Innovation, are delivering VegKIT, an integrated five-year program to deliver tools and interventions to help increase children’s vegetable intake.
In addition, Flinders University and Nutrition Australia (Victoria Division) have partnered to provide important nutrition workforce training in the form of industry placements, allowing Flinders students to gain skills, form invaluable connections, and experience an innovative and forward-thinking organisation.
These strong collaborations are of enormous importance to ensure we conduct relevant, outcome-based research and educate our nutrition workforce in the skills that are desperately needed in our communities.
Partnering with like-minded organisations allows us to innovate, share problem-solving solutions and add economic and social value to our society.

Our Reclaim the Lunchbox workshops aim to inspire and encourage parents/carers to prepare healthy lunchboxes for children at primary and secondary schools. The workshop complements the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy and incorporates valuable data from The Australian Guide to Healthy eating and Live Life Well at School. The workshop offers information and practical advice to enable people to make healthy choices.
