We didn't learn about menu reviews at uni did we? It can be isolating and overwhelming to work out how to do this on your own


You’re getting a lot of things right, but you know you could be doing more to get more menu contracts. What you really want is to...

  • make action-based recommendations for your facilities
  • better understand what needs to be in your menu reports
  • feel confident in your services and what to charge for menu reviews
  • be part of a dietitian community for support so you're not doing it alone

Who's your Dietitian Mentor?

Hi, I'm Louise! I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian who specialises in teaching dietitians the skillset required for aged care nutrition.

I wanted to create a program to help dietitians like YOU build the skills and confidence to assess menus and mealtimes, to increase your premium services for your practice.

FAQ

  • Do I need to be currently working in aged care to do this course?

    No you don't - the goal for this program is to up-skill more dietitians to be able to effectively work in aged care, whether that be in an employed role in an organisation, or as a consultant in the industry. We are in the drivers seat to lead culture change, the more voices we have the better to create positive change!

  • Can student dietitians or interns enroll in this program?

    If you are in your final year of dietetics then it will be suitable for you to do this program. There are limited clinical positions available, so this creates another avenue for new graduates to create a career path that is not the mainstream. Uni education generally doesn't provide enough training to work in aged care as a new grad, this program will bridge that gap. New grads are encouraged to apply!

  • When does the program start?

    The program starts on 27th May 2020, with 12 weeks of weekly online modules and coaching. If you can't make it to the live calls, each module will be recorded and uploaded into the program for you to watch when it fits into your lifestyle! The FB group is designed to also engage with the community so you feel supported and connected in your progress

  • How much time to I need to commit each week?

    Each weekly live call will be 1 hour in length, and allow an extra hour a week to review the material and complete any exercises in the workbook

Pricing options

Pricing options to suit all budgets! The 12 week coaching program is $547AUD (inc GST), with a payment plan option if this makes it easier for you ( 3 x $190) (inc GST)
