SCBFN3003 Nutritional diversity in the Australian population
This unit addresses the diverse dietary needs of various ethnic groups, considering religious restrictions, traditional dietary preferences, socioeconomic status (SES), and sub-climates. The focus will be on: recognising the needs of an identified target group; developing and assessing a program to meet the identified priority need; implementing and managing the program in a selected setting; evaluating and reporting the outcomes of the program. The content of this unit will also provide a solid grounding for any further study in public health, the health sciences, or other courses where graduates will be working with diverse populations. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of presenting, critiquing, and problem-solving skills that are required when working with individuals to support their nutritional needs within Australia¿s diverse population.
