Food Training and Nutrition

The Lakelands Public Health promotes and educates the community on the impacts of food and nutrition. From fundamental nutritional principles to training, we empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Dietitian Support

With so much information about food and nutrition, it can be confusing. Dietitians use the most up-to-date science and translate it to guide and support you with your food and nutrition goals.

Food Handler Training

The Lakelands Public Health offers food handler training courses, including a self-study and exam challenge option. Food handler courses provide education on how to safely handle and prepare food, which is a regulatory requirement under the Food Premises Regulation.
