The National Committee for Nutrition aims to foster nutritional science in Australia, to link the Academy to Australian nutritional scientists and relevant scientific and other societies, and to serve as a link between Australian and overseas nutritionists, primarily through the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS).
The National Committee for Nutrition Science have received Australian Research Council funding as part of the Council’s Learned Academies Special Projects (LASP) scheme. This funding is to develop a national 10-year plan for nutrition science in Australia titled, ‘Nurishing Australia: A decadal plan for nutrition science’.
