Researchers at Flinders are leading a study to improve the quality of nutrition in the population of adults receiving home care packages. The study is being led by Research Associate and Dietician Morgan Pankhurst and her team. 

The team wishes to build a Consumer Advisory Group to guide the development of their project. Community members will be asked to convene three times, at the beginning of the project, midway through the project and then at the conclusion. They will have the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and ideas about the research project. Their input will help to inform the future development of interventions, education materials and recommendations for policy makers to support individuals remaining in their own home.

Experience required - consumers: Older adults who receive home care package supports, carers of older adults who receive home care package supports, home care service providers and case managers

Deadline to apply:  Monday, 21 NOVEMBER 2022, 12PM
