Supporting Home-Delivered Meals for Older Australians

At the Maggie Beer Foundation, we’ve long championed great food and dining experiences for older Australians in aged care homes. Now, we’re expanding our focus to another vital part of the aged care landscape, home-delivered meals.  Every delivered meal is an opportunity to support independence, wellbeing, and joy. With this in mind, we’re developing a new education program tailored specifically for the meal delivery sector covering everything from flavour and nutrition to presentation and client connection. 

Your Insights Matter 

Before we build this training, we want to learn from you. If you're a meal delivery provider, your on-the-ground experience can help shape a program that’s practical, relevant, and meaningful for your teams and clients.  Take our short survey to share your experience and priorities. You can also register your interest in joining a focus group to co-design the new materials. 👉Maggie Beer Foundation Survey - Understanding Home Care Meal Delivery Services 

What’s Next 

Your input will directly inform the pilot program, launching in mid-2026, designed for organisations delivering meals to older Australians.  Together, let’s make every delivered meal not just nourishing, but joyful.
