About us

The Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA) is a group of qualified, practising scientists and educators from diverse disciplines who are brought together by a common interest in the research and application of nutrition. Founded in 1975, the Society is represented across Australia by Regional Groups and managed by the NSA Council. NSA has nine Regional Groups around Australia: Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney, Tasmania, and Wollongong. Each group has its own local organising committee and hosts local events. The overall operation of the Society is managed by the NSA Council. The Council comprises elected office-bearers, representatives from the Regional Groups, and a small number of invited members who perform specific roles such as managing the NSA webinars and newsletter. Council members meet every three months by teleconference or face-to-face and NSA Executive meets on a monthly basis. We employ a secretariat for the financial and administrative management of our affairs.
