With the introduction of the Aged Care Act 2024, home care providers now face clearer responsibilities around the delivery of meals - including a new requirement for annual dietetic assessments of all menus. These changes reflect a stronger focus on dignity, choice, and quality nutrition in aged care, whether in residential settings or at home.

Our latest blog explains what the changes mean, who holds accountability, and how Nutrition Professionals Australia can help you stay compliant with confidence.

Is your menu ready for 1 November 2025?

With the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards taking effect soon, food and dining must deliver more than nutrition. They’re now central to resident wellbeing, dignity, and regulatory compliance under Standard 6: Food and Nutrition.

Our latest blog shares five practical tips to elevate menu planning and the mealtime experience in both home care and aged care. From engaging residents in menu development to improving presentation and flexible service styles, small changes can drive meaningful impact.
