Nutrition

What's it like to work in the Food and Nutrition Industries?

What Training Do You Need to Succeed?


Human nutrition is relevant to not only the health industry, but also food, fitness and perhaps other industry sectors.

The food that people eat, and how it is eaten, may be influenced by a wide range of vocations, for example:

  • Health food shop sales staff
  • Food Supplement Suppliers (both factories that produce supplements and people who wholesale, or directly distribute supplements)
  • Primary producers
  • Food Retailers
  • Food Processors
  • Food Service Industries (Restaurant managers, cooks, etc)
  • Fitness professionals
  • Health & Wellbeing Professionals (eg. Doctors, Naturopaths, Massage therapists, Counsellors etc)
  • Nutritional Counsellors
  • Dieticians
  • Nutrition Scientists

Opportunities exist to work in a wide range of situations in the food and nutrition industries. These provide just a glimpse at the scope of possibilities.
