Starting 22nd April 2025, OzHarvest is bringing NEST (Nutrition Education Skills Training) to the heart of local communities and running a free program, empowering adults to cook nutritious and delicious meals on a budget and grow their nutrition knowledge.

Our NEST team on the Sunshine Coast will be running a free 5-week program from Tuesday, 22nd April to 27th May 2025. Led by our friendly dietitian and nutritionist, Chanel, you’ll learn how to cook easy, tasty, and affordable meals (for under $5.00 a serve) as well as build on your food and nutrition knowledge in five fun, hands-on, 2.5-hour group sessions

At NEST, you’ll learn:

  • New cooking tips and tricks
  • How to understand food labels
  • How to save money on your food budget
  • How to plan meals to reduce food waste
  • How to store food safely

At the completion of the program, you’ll receive a certificate, take-home resources and your own copy of the OzHarvest Everyday Cookbook!
