Help Us Create Culturally Safe and Delicious Meals in Aged Care

At the Maggie Beer Foundation, we believe that food is more than just nourishment—it’s about connection, culture, and comfort. That’s why we’re developing a new training module to support cooks and chefs in preparing tasty, nutritious, and culturally safe meals for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents in aged care.

To ensure this resource truly reflects the needs and preferences of residents, we need your input. Whether you work in aged care, have a loved one living in a home, or are part of the community, your feedback will help shape this important initiative.

By sharing your experiences and insights, you can help us create meaningful change—ensuring that every meal served respects traditions, honours culture, and brings joy to the table.

📢 Take a few minutes to complete our survey today and be part of the change!
