Course Description

The purpose of this course is to provide disability and aged care staff with a strong foundation in managing nutrition for participants with complex health needs. Nutrition directly impacts healing, energy, independence, and quality of life. In many NDIS and care settings, workers play a key role in implementing nutrition care plans, monitoring risks such as malnutrition, and ensuring safe mealtime practices. This course equips learners with the skills to recognise risks, apply safe and person-centred approaches, and work in compliance with both NDIS Practice Standards and Australian dietary guidelines.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  1. Define key concepts of nutrition in complex care – including macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, and the impact of illness or disability on nutritional needs.
  2. Identify risks related to malnutrition and unsafe feeding – such as aspiration, dehydration, unplanned weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies.
  3. Apply safe, person-centred nutrition support strategies – supporting participants with mealtime management, texture modifications, and feeding techniques while respecting choice, dignity, and cultural needs.
  4. Align nutrition practice with NDIS and Australian dietary guidelines – ensuring compliance with NDIS Practice Standards, organisational policies, and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.
