Cert IV student cook-off

During their Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice studies, students participate in a 2-week workshop studying the interrelationship between chronic disease and nutrition.

At the conclusion of the workshop each student is allocated a chronic disease condition to research and present on - and to then develop a meal which addresses that condition.

The students shop for their meals' ingredients with a tightly-constrained budget, prepare the dishes, and after calling for volunteers, they serve the meals to an audience while delivering commentary from a nutritional perspective based on their research.

There is never any shortage of volunteers! Thanks to the latest Cert IV cohort for their hospitality and for their pursuit of the knowledge that they will take back to their communities.
