Joint statements on community health issues
Working together
We work with like-minded organisations to prepare joint position statements on community health issues.
As part of a joint position statement, we can:
- make recommendations to improve diet and nutritional health
- give credible dietetic evidence
- support the role of Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs)
- lobby for policy change
