Mid-term review: Nourishing Australia

Background

Nourishing Australia: A decadal plan for the science of nutrition was published by the National Committee for Nutrition (NCN) in July 2019.

In 2024, the NCN will undertake a mid-term review (MTR) of the plan, to be launched in November 2024. This review of Nourishing Australia will:

• review the main goals and priorities of the decadal plan and provide a succinct update on the state of Australian nutrition science and significant changes since the completion of the decadal plan.
• review the recommendations of the decadal plan, reporting on the extent to which they have been accomplished, and whether recommendations remain appropriate or require revision.
• review current plans for implementing the original or updated recommendations of the decadal plan, and provide revised implementation plans with priorities and contingencies, focussing on the period 2025-2029 and addressing the longer term where appropriate.
