Overview
This unit is designed to develop and consolidate your practice in community and public health nutrition applying your knowledge at the local and population level. You will develop a range of strategies to influence change and reduce the burden of chronic disease. You will explore the efficacy of current interventions and strategies that are used to address nutrition-related issues. You will then translate and apply community and public health concepts into the development and management of nutrition intervention/promotion projects for an at-risk group in a regional/rural/remote community as a part of your full-time supervised placement (30 days). This experience will develop your research, problem-solving, business management and professional skills as you will work through the stages of project planning, implementation, and evaluation and then synthesise your findings into a final report. You will work in collaboration with key partners throughout the placement.
