Complete Nutrition Designed for Older Australians

Our shakes are formulated by dietitians to support energy, strength and healthy ageing — ideal for clients receiving Support at Home (formerly Home Care Package) funding. Eligible clients can access our Complete Nutrition and Protein Plus products with no co-contribution.

Optimal Essentials Protein Plus - Pharma for Seniors and Complete Nutrition - Pharma have been developed in consultation with our nutritionists and dietitians to address common nutritional concerns in seniors.

Complete Nutrition - Pharma

Eating a balanced diet provides us with the essential nutrients to support good health.  As we age it can be harder to eat a healthy diet and an inadequate diet may mean you are not reaching your recommended daily needs. 

Complete Nutrition formulated meal replacement differs from similar products on the market because it has no added sugar and is naturally sweetened.

As Complete Nutrition is a formulated meal replacement and is classified as a food for Special Medical Purposes under the FSANZ Code Standard 2.9.5, it may be eligible for subsidy through your Support At Home Plan, subject to your provider's approval.

Complete Nutrition has the same nutritional composition as Ensure and Hospital Grade Sustagen but has been developed without all of the artificial sweeteners and additives.

Protein Powder - Pharma for Seniors

A diet sufficient in protein is vital for our body as we age. Seniors need the right amount of protein in order to maintain muscle strength, balance, agility and resilience.

Protein acts as a building block for the body and aids in nearly every cell and body process. Whey protein, in particular, is most effective for seniors that are struggling to rebuild muscle. Optimal Essentials Protein shakes for seniors are the perfect way to help fill any nutritional gaps and ensure your protein needs are met. Protein Plus for Seniors is a formulated supplementary food and is classified as a food for Special Medical Purposes under the FSANZ Code 2.9.5. It may be eligible for subsidy through your Support At Home Plan, pending assessment and approval by your provider.

To determine your eligibility and obtain approval for nutrition support products, please consult with your Support At Home Provider. They can assess your individual needs and confirm whether these products can be included in your plan.
