The Food Foundations Program has been the leading food and nutrition program for early years settings in QLD for over 25 years. Our team of dietitians, nutritionists and health promotion officers are the experts in providing nutrition and food safety information for staff, parents and children.
Subscribers to our Food Foundations program stay up to date with the latest relevant nutrition and food safety information through our e-newsletters, online resources, telephone and email enquiry lines and workshops/presentations.
Through the 2022 subscription year the Food Foundations program will focus on four themes. Each theme will include focused discussion, resources and information relating directly to legislative requirements.
