Raising the standard with dietitians in ...

Dietitian Connection
About this episode

With the strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards coming into effect on 1st November 2025, dietitians are more central than ever to aged care quality. In this episode, we’re joined by Louise Murray, APD and Principal Consultant at Nosh Dietitians Co. to unpack what’s changing and how dietitians can step confidently into their evolving roles. Louise explores how we can use our seat at the table to advocate, influence foodservice, and bridge the gap between clinical and catering. From screening to resident feedback loops and 24/7 snack access models, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

In the episode, we discuss:

  • Why dietitians are key to bridging clinical care and catering
  • The importance of turning screening insights into meaningful action
  • Practical ideas to support 24/7 food access and improve mealtime experiences
  • How to advocate effectively and use your “seat at the table” for resident-centred care
