Mealtime Preparation and Delivery
Supporting Nutrition, Dignity, and Independence in Care Settings
Mealtime is more than just serving food — it’s a moment of connection, care, and dignity. For support workers, understanding how to safely and respectfully prepare and deliver meals is a core part of providing quality support.
The Mealtime Preparation and Delivery course by 2Skill helps care professionals develop the essential skills needed to assist participants with their nutritional needs, promote independence, and maintain safety throughout the process.
Why Mealtime Skills Matter in Care
For people receiving NDIS or aged care support, mealtimes can be challenging due to mobility, swallowing, or dietary needs. Proper training ensures that every meal provided meets both nutritional and safety standards — while respecting personal preferences and cultural choices.

Understand the principles of safe food handling and hygiene
Learn how to prepare meals according to dietary and texture requirements
Support participants with dignity and respect during mealtimes

Promote positive mealtime experiences that encourage independence
Quality mealtime support can significantly improve a participant’s health, comfort, and overall quality of life.
