In 2022, National Nutrition Foundation, credited as Nutrition Australia at the time, joined Dietitians Australia, Meals on Wheels Australia, the Maggie Beer Foundation and the Public Health Association of Australia through the Nutrition for Older Australians Alliance (NOAA).
The Alliance’s pre-budget submission called on the Australian Government to fund the development of dedicated dietary guidelines for Australians aged over 70, alongside public education, implementation support, monitoring and evaluation.
The submission highlighted the importance of nutrition in supporting the health and wellbeing of older Australians and reducing the impact of malnutrition across community and aged care settings.
