Date: Saturday 29 November 2025

Location: Ballroom, Victoria Park Function Centre, 309 Herston Road, Herston.

There is parking at the venue, however as there are other events happening at the same time, the car park can fill up quickly. You may want to consider carpooling. Or, the venue is conveniently located near the Herston Busway.

WOW! Look at the original Graduate Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics at QIT. This diploma took three semesters to complete; starting and finishing in autumn. The course had a broad advisory committee who ranged from dietitians to lecturers in catering management. I wonder what the assessment items looked like in PSP131 Large Scale Feeding, and the subsequent unit PSP132 Practice in Large Scale Feeding?
Let's reminisce at our High Tea on the great times that we have all had during the 50 years of Nutrition and Dietetics at QUT.
Have you secured your ticket yet? We have had a lot of interest from our alumni and it looks like it will be a great afternoon of fun and laughter!

We are a collaborative team of researchers from Queensland University of Technology and Queensland Children’s Hospital.

The study aims to collect information about the dietary habits of children with Crohn’s and their families, and the possible barriers to eating well. We hope this information will help to develop future diet therapies to support a better quality of life for these children and young people.
