Share your experiences around nutrition for children under 5 years

Nutrition for Children is a project being run by the University of Queensland to develop a website with resources for parents, families, health professionals and early childhood educators targeting nutrition for children under five.

We are looking for individuals to share their experiences around nutrition for children under five, which will help in the development of this website.

This would involve joining up to three small group discussions. During these meetings, you are invited to share your experiences around nutrition for children under five, provide your feedback on the materials we create and the website to house them. No expert knowledge on nutrition is required to join these groups.

The meetings will last approximately 2 hours and will be conducted online via Zoom. We will aim to run the meetings at a time that suits all participants work and personal commitments.
