Alliance of the Willing, a senior leadership group formed out of the inaugural National Congress on food, nutrition and the dining experience in aged care. The most recent undertaking was to work with the Department of Health, to review and advise on ‘strengthen the Aged Care Quality Standards’, in areas of food and the dining experience. Other opportunities are through research projects, and MBF Board strategies. Through the Professional Community the MBF Alumni are actively involved providing input through experience and current best practice discussed with their peers.
