Breaking Nutrition Barriers: How Eat Well Health Supports NDIS Participants to Meet Their Daily Needs
Introduction
Accessing proper nutrition shouldn’t be hard—but for many Australians living with disability, it is. From physical limitations and budget restrictions to lack of tailored products, NDIS participants face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining good nutrition.
At Eat Well Health, we’re on a mission to bridge this gap—making it easier for participants and their support teams to access reliable, easy-to-consume, and clinically guided nutrition support.
The Hidden Nutrition Crisis Among NDIS Participants
NDIS participants often experience nutrition challenges due to:
-
Physical or cognitive barriers to preparing meals
-
Difficulty chewing or swallowing
-
Sensory aversions to certain food textures or smells
-
Inconsistent meal routines due to mobility or carer scheduling
-
Limited access to appropriate, affordable supplements
-
Lack of guidance from a qualified dietitian familiar with disability
These issues can lead to undernutrition, fatigue, poor immunity, and reduced quality of life.
