Read our stories from aged care residents, chefs and managers to see how aged care homes are improving nutrition, food choice and dining experiences.
We are improving the health and quality of life for aged care residents through the:
- the Maggie Beer Foundation’s free training
- new Aged Care Quality Standard 6: Food and nutrition, to be introduced with the new Aged Care Act.

Chefs and managers share how the training helped them to:
