We are on the brink of a nutrition support catastrophe for people with disability in Australia.

As a result of last week’s decision by the NDIA, people with disability are going to have even more difficulty accessing the critical dietetic and nutrition support they need to function.

More and more people with disability will be left with no other option for support other than their local hospital.

People who live in regional and remote communities will be the hardest hit – with a major cut to travel funding for participants to receive nutrition support in their home.

People with disability often have complex nutrition needs, and this requires comprehensive dietary and nutrition support.

Nearly a quarter of Australia’s dietitians working in the disability sector are in a position where they will no longer be able to support their communities.

We must act quickly to ensure that dietetic services remain available for people who need it most.

Please sign the petition to support Dietitians Australia’s call on the NDIA and the Australian Government to guarantee people with disability who need nutrition and dietetic support will receive it. Link in our comments.

Thanks for your support ❤️
