The DAA is an association that standardizes professionalism within the Dietitian community and updates its members on current issues, research and information about dieting. They also have the responsibility of updating training methods and correcting information given to students of Health. This organisation plays a key role in the care of dietitians and their clients Australia wide. Without this association (or one like it) the Health and fitness industry would not have direct access to information and updates on research and standards, causing a lapse in correct advice or treatments of patients and clients who would suffer in health due to the important biochemical, physiological and psychological factors that relate to human nutrition. I plan to regularly visit the Smart Eating For You guide for up to date information on healthy eating to better my health and the health of my clients.
DAA is the peak body of dietetic and nutrition professionals providing strategic leadership in food and nutrition through empowerment, advocacy, education, accreditation and communication.
